My name is Ruby Nelson, currently in my third year pursuing a degree in Merchandising with a minor in Fashion Media at Indiana University. My academic curriculum within the College of Arts and Sciences, accompanied by my active participation in the Retail Studies Organization, has helped foster my leadership and collaborative abilities, while also allowing me to express my fondness for the arts.My ambition for business began with the establishment of a nonprofit aimed at sourcing essentials for a women’s domestic violence shelter, which, truly helped me seek my passion for engagement and community. Through the utilization of online platforms and local networking initiatives, I gained a dedicated following, which led to my appointment as a Junior Board Executive member. In this position, I exhibited heightened authority capability and assumed responsibility for addressing complex challenges, a progression made possible by my adeptness in creative problem-solving and management.Through my studies and extracurricular activities, I am developing a strong foundation of knowledge and skills that will enable me to succeed in the marketing and merchandising world. I am excited to continue exploring new opportunities that will benefit my future and help aid me in achieving better things.
