I possess excellent interpersonal skills, and place a high importance on the ability to communicate effectively and in an approachable manner in a business environment. I have significant experience selling, managing a retail store, and marketing. I thrive on teamwork and in dynamic group environments. I have completed various group projects, including an advertising campaign for Vitamin Water, business communication strategy for the film industry. Most recently, I worked with Nirvana GTD on marketing their product to a wider market. I am currently focused on a project analyzing the sports marketing industry and how web 2.0 impacts specific sports teams.
