Entrepreneurial business

Sales Associate

I am a fifth year senior at the University of Washington. I will be graduating this June of 2020 with my BA in Business with focuses in marketing and entrepreneurship, the certificate of international studies in business, and a minor in Spanish. I am passionate about the outdoors and international culture. 

Upon graduating, I am looking to potentially relocate to further involve myself in the outdoor community and leverage my skills I have gained through my marketing and entrepreneurship focuses. 

During my academic career, I have consistently balanced working 20 or more hours a week and have held multiple executive positions in my student organization involvement. Through my work and school experience, I have developed excellent communication skills, analytical problem-solving strategies, and a strong command of organizational task management. In both my academic and professional life, I have been consistently praised as hard-working and determined by my professors and peers. Whether working on academic, extracurricular, or professional projects, I apply proven teamwork, leadership, and critical thinking skills, which I hope to leverage into any position I take on.
