In 2011, I began my college career close to
home
I earned my A.A. in Political Science at Diablo Valley
Community College
I was a co-founder of the DVC Sociology
Club
I participated in the DVC Model
UN
2013
With acceptances to UC Berkeley, Irvine, and San
Diego, I ultimately chose to study at the beautiful UCSD
2014
At UCSD:
I have a 3.8 GPA with Provost’s Honors during
three quartersMy class rank is
currently in the top 10%
I am currently the Director of Strategy at UCSD Adwave, a
chapter of the American Advertising Federation
During my time as a college student, I have
had jobs as…
a lifeguard
a cashier at Sports Authority
a sales associate at Vector Marketing
a golf cart attendant
a mail carrier
an ADA Transport driver at UCSD
After deciding grad school in Political Science might not be for me, I began to pursue internships
After dozens of unanswered resumes and cover letters, I
was finally given the opportunity to embark on my first internship as a Special
Events Coordinator
During this time, I found my love for marketing, and plan
to pursue it as a career
I plan on applying within the next year to Northwestern’s online
programs, “Integrated Marketing Communications” and “MS in
Predictive Analytics”
2014
My Junior year was spent as a Special
Events Coordinator for The Law Offices
of Mark L. Miller
The main event drew 25% more
people than in years prior
Now, I am spending my Senior year as the Director
of Strategy at UCSD Adwave
We have created a marketing campaign
designed to raise online sales more than 30% at
Pizza Hut
As Director of Strategy, I have lead my team to find
the “big idea” of the campaign by first
determining the target demographics
Then, we conducted qualitative and
quantitative research in order to develop the
direction of the campaign
To build some last minute skills, I will be a Marketing Intern during my
last quarter and work on small digital campaigns while utilizing
Google Analytics
I am also currently enrolled in Stanford’s online public course,
Introduction and Relational Databases,
and IT University’s SQL certification
course
And, I am enrolled in Codecademy’s
introductory “HTML & CSS” course
I have learned many analytical skills during my time as a student
But, I have also learned a lot about…
People
I have learned a lot about why people do what they do from my
time…as a social science student
in marketing
and from my work experience
People
Learning about people has been the
most important (and my favorite) part of my
development
It allows me to be successful in
marketing, sales, communication, team work, and much more
Most importantly, it helps me build
relationships with clients, customers,
colleagues, and friends
I graduate in June, 2015. I am preferably
searching for a Marketing Analyst
position
But, I am also interested in the areas of analytics, sales, public relations,
management development, and event planning
