I first began my career aspirations at The University of Northern Colorado in the fall of 2012. I feel I accomplished so much and yet, there is still always more to learn. I started out unsure with what major to focus on but I soon came to the realization that marketing was where my true passions lie.

Throughout my experiences at the Monfort College of Business, I have gained in-depth knowledge of application of many business emphasis’ including, finance, accounting, management, computer information systems, and of course marketing.

Here are some accomplishments as a student that I feel will serve me well in my professional journey:

· A promotional plan for Wells Fargo through the Advertising and Promotion class. Full-length marketing and promotional plan for Wells Fargo to achieve a goal of 1,000 new checking accounts. In this class, my team was able to claim runner-up in the class competition where my team members and I each received a scholarship from Wells Fargo for our efforts

· Consumer Audit report on New Belgium Brewery for Consumer Behavior Class. My team and I were able to come up with an in-depth analysis on New Belgium brewery that included, SWOT analysis, industry analysis, industry-specific consumer behavior, and recommendations for the company based on our findings

· Digital marketing plan for an idea of an online start-up company. Our report consisted of SWOT analysis of our company, target market plan, and fully functioning website. The company my team came up with was an online craft beer retailer, selling products of Colorado craft beer companies.

I have also had the amazing and rewarding experience to compete in division 1 athletics for UNC in cross country and track and field. Through running I have gained valuable skills including, leadership, strong work ethic, time management, and teamwork.

Over my 4 years at UNC, I have gained a true passion for marketing thanks to the great professors and students that make it truly a great institution. I am truly excited to see where my marketing journey takes me next.
