Aschaffenburg, Bayern, De

I was lucky enough to intern with 004 GmbH, a German eCommerce services firm, while pursuing my MBA at Illinois. While an intern I developed and managed a US-market entry strategy for a French, leather producing client and designed and managed distribution of a market research questionnaire examining the influence of e-commerce business services in the American and European retail markets. Finally, while an intern I worked with the company's principals to develop the 004 Technologies business plan and model that culminated in the opening of 004's US operation in June 2010 in the Enterprise Works incubator facility at the University of Illinois Research Park.

This was a short-term contract position I obtained via a 3rd party recruitment firm after deciding to head back to school to pursue an MBA. At this particular job I liaised with Mayors and civic officials from across the country encouraging them to lobby their individual Members of Congress to support the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG).

This was a short-term contract position I obtained via a 3rd party recruitment firm after deciding to head back to school to pursue an MBA. At Intelsat I worked in the Satellite Operations Department where I created an Excel database to better organize manuals, guidebooks, & flight plans following merger with a competitor (PanAmSat).

Washington, District Of Columbia, Us

This was my first job after returning to the US after a year teaching in China. After initially searching unsuccessfully for employment in New York City I turned my attention to my home market of Washington DC and found The Rendon Group. While at The Rendon Group I was employed as government contractor working as a Media Analyst with a focus on Latin America. Specifically, I performed analysis of Latin America news stories with a concentration on Colombian domestic, international and political affairs. I researched the influence of non-traditional & user-generated media on the Colombian news cycle as part of a project funded by the US Department of Defense.

After graduating from Georgetown in 2005 I embarked on an adventure to China to teach English in the Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. I chose to teach English in China because I was seeking an international assignment that would place me outside of my comfort zone preferably in an area of the world I had yet to visit and experience. At JTUT I was a professor of English, Journalism, and Western Culture. In my capacity as a professor I designed curriculum for 22 classes of students with varying degrees of language proficiency. I also organized and particpated in weekly "English Corner"language sessions to encourage classroom participation, and ease cultural differences.
