I have various work experiences, ranging from sales, finance, higher education, non-profit, to digital marketing. Please include a message before sending me a connection request.My upbringing being first-generation from a low-income household shaped my perseverance and resiliency. I recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a BA in Political Economy with a Technology and the Economy Concentration. I have a proven background of working for 4+ years in retail and strong customer service skills, which are transferable to any job. In my previous commission-based role as a Nordstrom Sales Associate, I was one of the top sellers in my department due to my innate ability to connect with customers, find products that meet their needs, and build relationships. Moreover, my strong work ethic at Nordstrom helped me to transfer to UC Berkeley.Aside, I am passionate about representing the voices and making them heard by sharing the stories of first-generation, underrepresented individuals in higher education and professional settings. There are a few exciting personal projects that I am currently working on in my LinkedIn profile. One of them is #networkingseries, where I interview my network and feature their career story. Hence, I want to be a role model for other first-generation students and professionals through my content using #firstgenjulie. Follow me to stay tuned for my career journey!
