As a junior in the communications program at Grand Valley State University, I have a strong foundation in persuasive messaging, interpersonal communication, and public speaking. I am a dedicated student who strives for excellence not only in school, but in all aspects of my life. Along with the knowledge that I have obtained through my education, I have an innate ability to connect and relate with people on a genuine and personal level. Throughout my 4+ years of employment in the restaurant industry I have grown my hospitality, and relationship building skills. I was promoted to restaurant manager which expanded my ability to be a strong leader and increased my proficiency to effectively communicate with a multitude of people. I am seeking an internship where I can utilize my interpersonal skills and I look forward to making new connections.
