When I was 9 years old and started my first business selling sweets, I realized that I had a love and passion for selling and marketing products. Since that day, I have worked to develop my most notable skills; being persuasive, communicating, creativity, attention to detail, and problem-solving. I am particularly interested in social media marketing, and I am dedicated to leveraging my expertise and experience in marketing to achieve significant results and contribute positively to any team or organization I am a part of. I am currently a first-year Bachelor of Commerce Co-op student at Dalhousie University, with an intended major in marketing. My primary goal is to use this program as a tool to gain knowledge and experience, as well as build long-term relationships through networking. In addition to my academic pursuits, I am also an athlete. Last year, I had the privilege of being a part of Team Canada's Boxing team. This experience taught me how to thrive in competitive environments and the importance of discipline, hard work, and perseverance. Just as I pursue excellence in the ring, I approach marketing with the same dedication and drive. In the future, I plan to pursue a career in digital marketing using my passion for business and skills to make an innovative impact.
