From your internship or work experience, what are you most proud of?
During my undergrad experience, I worked for the campus activities board where I started as a marketing chair and then became the creative director. During my time as the creative director, I managed a budget of over $20,000 and was in charge of the marketing team. I also worked with the other directors in a team of four to organize a concert that cost around $300,000 and included three major artists, lil yachty, young nudy, and nocap. I was also responsible for creating a marketing strategy to promote this concert and the 5 major events we held leading up to it. The concert sold out and we had several thousand attendees during the entire week.
