I am currently a student at the University of Mississippi studying Entrepreneurship. My professional journey started in 2018 when I began capturing media for clients, via aerial imagery, as a licensed drone pilot under FAA Part 107. My first real job was an internship at Southern Research Group in 2019, where I learned about market research and data analysis. Then I developed my sales skills as an Outdoor Gear Specialist at Buffalo Peak Outfitters from 2020 to 2024, building a strong foundation in customer engagement and sales tactics. In 2021, I joined Home Tours Pro as a contracted content creator to create media packages for real estate listings. I further developed my content creation skills while editing educational videos for Certify Education from 2022 to 2023. Since late 2023, I have been contributing to the growth and innovation of Altar’d Socials, a social media marketing agency, in my role as Business Developer. Outside of the professional sphere; I've hiked over 3,300 miles across the U.S., including a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail.Learn more about my adventures and portfolio at mclinduke.com.
