A Little About Me
I can start off by listing a laundry list of skills and accomplishments sprinkled with fancy adjectives I once found in a David Foster Wallace novel (most of which can be found if you scroll down just a bit further; the skills, not the adjectives), all in hopes of impressing you with at least one of them or... I can just be me.
That sounded a bit more cliche than I'd like, but hear me out.
I specialize in all things media. From Snapchat to radio to the cut-out editorial your grandma sent through the mail because she didn't really understand what you meant by "just copy and paste it to me", I know it.
Most importantly, I thrive in it.
I have the skills to adapt and excel. But unlike others, I specialize in turning an inhuman medium into a living and breathing piece. My goal has always been to bring meaning and character in a digital age that's become quite cold. So give me your tired, your overused, your shivering works, and I'll provide the warmth.
Work Experience
J.K. Real Estate, Inc.
Currently, you can find me working at the Joliet offices of J.K. Real Estate alongside the company's founder. As Marketing and Field Associate, I've been able to not only further strengthen and refine my skills, but also add to it like invoicing, handling vendors, and working with governmental bodies. Check out my largest project, our HUD Marketing Proposal.
The Dagaz Group
Dagaz provided me with a unique opportunity to utilize my skillset towards national marketing campaigns that involved larger, more known clients such as Nicor Gas and Quill. The fast-paced atmosphere and tight-knit work community were truly some of the position's best perks. Within a couple of months, I had been promoted to Senior Account Manager and provided with a team of my own to train and lead.
LeJeune Marketing Group
From creating and planning marketing campaigns to drafting press releases, LeJeune allowed me to work with digital media in a more professional setting. The biggest highlight was being able to work alongside local Chicago businesses and getting live feedback, allowing us to create more authentic and true to brand marketing.
Dreamscape Studio
I worked primarily as a Social Media Intern, but it didn't stop me from helping in other aspects of the company. I aided in maintaining all social media accounts, researched investors and shadowed during film productions. I learned first-hand the real, raw process of film production.
Illinifest
My classmates and I created an annual student film festival focused on showcasing the works of young and aspiring filmmakers. I became the festival's public relations director and overlooked a small team dedicated to contacting local media outlets and releasing information on Illinifest. To this day, the festival continues and expands (even globally).
WPGU 107.1
Between creating commercials for local Champaign businesses to hosting my own weekly three-hour show on Champaign's top rock/alternative radio station, I lived and breathed radio in my early career days. I was heavily invested in the production side and learned an essential skill--- adapting under pressure.
