I graduated with a degree in Mass & Organizational Communicaitons and while in my senior year took on two internships, one with an advertising agency (marketing) and one with the American Heart Association (PR). I knew early on that advertising/marketing was my passion and I took every step afforded to me to make my goal a reality. The internships gave me an added edge in the real experience I gained and the contacts/references I made through performing exceptional work.

Here I learned the basics in producing commercials for both TV and radio which because one is a sight medium and the other a sound, they are very much different when writing the scripts and using sound for effect. I also worked with some of the brightest minds at Disney/ABC with co-promotions as well as many other well-known studios in co-promoting their products with ours. My writing and audience analysis and synthesis skills were strengthend tremendously from my five years with these stations.

I am keenly interested in the technology sector. The advancement of technology as it enables consumers to do more for anywhere with fewer and fewer devices (maybe one day even a single unit). So I would say that outside my profession of marketing in the media industry, I would love to work more in the technology marketing arena.

He/she responded offered like experience information. The interview was less intimidating and I felt at ease and open minded to where I could share past experiences without stumbling from nerves.
