L E T T E R

Upon graduation, my goal is to work in a public relations or marketing agency. It is also my goal to gain knowledge and experience in this profession through job shadows and internships throughout my college career. I am a hard worker and am extremely organized, which helps me when I have

deadlines to meet. I can take an original idea and pursue that idea either individually or with a team; I am a good team player and have had a lot of experience working through tough situations with

others through competitive sports and clubs. I am eager to get started in this industry and hope to benefit any company I have the privilege of coming into contact with.
