International Studies
Paris, France
In the spring of 2017, I leapt at the chance to enrich my education by spending a semester studying in Paris, France, where I further developed my communication and leadership skills. When one steps out of their comfort zone to embrace a lifestyle unknown to them, one becomes truly aware of the world around them. For me, I better understood France's unique culture and lifestyle through the teachings of the Institute where I studied, but also simply through the delightful encounters in boulangeries and cafés, and from those friendly enough to introduce themselves on a park bench overlooking the Seine. It is a daring thing to hold conversations in a language that is not native to you, yet it is also the most rewarding.

Intern Experience
The 567 Center For Renewal
My internship at The 567 Center for Renewal has been one of the greatest hands-on learning experiences of my college career. I have gone behind the scenes of a non-profit business to see how marketing, advertising, and business relationships differ from larger businesses. Because the 567 Center identifies as a small business and an open community of close individuals eager to enhance their clients' experience, it permitted me to successfully improve the 567's social media pages and overall business. From the softwares Occasion, Ovations365, and Macon 365 to SquareSpace, I have learned and improved my skills throughout. Being able to uphold the responsibility it takes to contribute not only to the marketing aspect of a business, but also the event planning and organizing, is an important recognizable feat that comes along with my internship at The 567.

Insightpool- The Atlanta Tech Village
For the summer of 2017, I accepted the opportunity to become a Business Development Representative at a startup called Insightpool, located at the Atlanta Tech Village. My passion for social media and networking sparked her interest in working with creative and daring individuals at this tech startup. Insightpool is an Influencer Marketing platform, which uses an omni-channel approach to identifying, activating, and optimizing marketing campaigns. With access to more than 100+ networks with deep integrations with Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, I gained the essential experience it takes to ameliorate my social media skills in this area. Also, I have demonstrated a proficiency in software, such as SalesLoft, Salesforce, Pardot, & LinkedIn Navigator to identify potential prospects. This internship not only allowed me to work hands-on with an influencer marketing tool, but I gained the knowledge and experience of what it's like to be a part of a startup and a close-knit community.
