THE RIGHT INDUSTRY
Sticking to my Values
I learned inside the classroom but also in my determination to understand the theory outside of the classroom I found a love for target markets, business analysis' and consumer behavior. Marketing for me is matching a product to the right consumer based on all the knowledge available weather that is analytics, customer surveys, sales representatives experiences and what they hear, trends, buyer persona’s - being able to get the right person what they want. I also like to think of marketing as a business' communication channel using creative content that is valuable for customers.
INFLUENTIAL INDUSTRY
Mental Health & Addiction
​
Ultimately, I would love to be able to create marketing content and plan events within a helpful industry, with a core purpose of helping others in pain.
I strongly support the mental health industry and would love to be able to represent it through marketing. my abilities would be to get people the help they need and directing them to the right information and resources.
I have always been a person who gravitates towards people in need. These types of people have led me to see drug abuse and mental illness. I have seen how this lifestyle affects a person's life and their relationships.
Not being aware of the options for help and how to handle these types of situations really influenced my approach to this industry and the dedication I would have to persuade those who need help to want help.
​
THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT
Room for Improvement
I would love to work for a non-profit, a foundation, or a charity I already support. When considering an employer I want them to be open to ideas from the younger generation and an environment that will ultimately challenge me to create better content. I want there to be a reason for me to really invest myself in the company and values, so I can be a positive representative for the brand.
