What do you do for fun outside of work?

- For fun I listen to a lot of music and I got to a lot of concerts. I really like art, design & fashion so im always going thrift shopping or doodling or going to galas and different events like that. I love being outside, the beach is like my second home when when it comes down to it you know theres nothing really better than spending a sunny day with some people you love. - Last person I saw in concert? Phoenix at red rocks.

How would you define your role as a leader/team player?

- LEADER -It comes pretty naturally to me. I grew up the eldest of 5 with 4 yonger brothers so I think that's when it all kind of started but you know ive done things like been the captian of my soccer team ,started recycling at my highschool, was assistant social chair in my sorirty and held a management position in college but did all those things not with the intention to be a leader but just going about my life - TEAM PLAYER - So ive learned to deal with all sorts of people, you know ones who are really awesome to work with but then also ones who can be a little more frustrating or hard headed but with that being said ive learned you have to be able to apadt to whatever is thrown your way even if its not your cup of tea and u know, try to enjoy that tea for what it is.

In 30 sec-3 MINS describe something that you are passionate about. Make us feel that passion, be descriptive. Talk about your passion

- Music. It can make you sad, happy, nostalgic but it can bring you to back to a certain moment in time or make you dream of something that hasn't even happened. Its a universal thing and theres all different genres for all types of people which i think can relate back to a persons personality and whats happening in their head. You know, They say your heart rate gets faster and you physically react to the element of music. And theres even music therapy which helps people deal with a lot fo their problems with the simple cure of a song. And i knwo personally music is the end all be all that gets me through work outs and driving in the car and riding on the subway. When you put your headphones in and silence out the res tof the world, your life really can kinda seem like a movie. My dad and I love shooting philosophical questions back and forth and one that he always asks me if I had to pick to me blind or dead and I always have a hard time but tell him as much beauty as there is in the world, I don't think I could live the res tof my life without hearing music.

Who do you think knows you best? What would that person say is something we should worry about with you?

- Oh, probably my best friend morgan. If she had something to worry about with me is that sometimes I don't like talking about or dealing with the more serious stuff. I love a good time and always want to be enjoying what im doing so sometimes I really dred or put off dealing with more serious tasks,

What is the toughest obstacle you've thus far encountered in your life?

- Personally, my parents divorce. It was a really messy one and having 4 younger siblings I kind of had to step up and really be a role model for them and be someone they could count on even though I felt like I wasn't really ready to be that but you know I didn't really have a choice. I had to do what had to be done. So as much as it was really hard, in the end ive found it to have made me a stronger person, developed my leadership skills and helped me grow closer to my brothers. Its all about finding the silver linining in everything.

Walk me through your resume

- So Ive had a good amount of experience in different fields but one thing that kinda held as the common thread that tied them all together was they were all sales oriented and driven. - At my last job I actually worked my way up from sales associate to supervisor and then up to manager mainly because I consistently sold more than my coworkers and because I inherently enjoy and am good at sales so you know I formed a lot of relationships with customers that would come in which I think really makes all the difference because it has a personal touch. - I always fall back on that famous maya angelou quote - That goes s people will forget what you did or what you said but they don't forget how you made them feel." - So I thin putting that extra effort in when youre making a sale to make sure your clients feel comfortable is an extra touch that goes a long way.

How do you handle pressure and obstacles?

- Very well I think. I don't get stressed out to much and in fact the more load I have the more I tend to get organized and down to the point

SOME WEAKNESSES?

- When I find myself in a new environment I sometimes tend to get a little shy or to speak up but I get comfortable pretty quick its just the initial dipping your toe in the water that can make me get a little shy. - I still get a little shifty with public speaking but when I put in a ton of practice and really know what im talking about I find myself very comfortably talking to a room. - Numbers I get nervous with them because I always struggled in school with math so ive always kind fo have this preconceived notion that im bad at math but ive learned to have a little more faith in myself and always take the precaution to just double check my work especially when its involving numbers to ensure I get it all correct.

CASE STUDY

George Washington University- for strategic PR majors - It's a state of the art media monitoring tool - You get real world experience in preparing for PR planning UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN - as much as its great to promote the brand you also have to be able to protect it monitoring so many channels and diff convos and its impt to know where its coming from - meltwater keeps brand image together "meltwater is an excellent line of defense" can immediately do some damage control want people to say Michgican is innovative and creative in their social and Meltwater helps them to be the leaders and the best - has an element of SEEMLESS COMMUNICATION (comm team and department head use same platform so everyone is in the loop)

WHO WOULD BE A GOOD CLIENT (HAVE COUPLE)

I think my school. CU boulder and the major I actually just gradated with Stat Comm - We learn a lot about media and stuff but we learned the long way to do things, or maybe efficient to know for beginners. - But I never even realized this kind fo technology existed until I looked into meltwater - So I think this program would be a great tool for students to utilize and learn as a state of the art media monitoring tool - Especially in boulder bc it is such a tech-start up hub it would be a great place to really get your foot in the door and learn the different platforms at your finger tips that can do the busy & tedious work for you BUT ALSO RELATING BACK TO HOW U OF MICHIGAN USES IT - CU could also use to monitor their own social

Are you comfortable making cold calls?

• ive actually never done a cold call but I think it something that's I would be totally comfortable doing and learning. Ive always excuted sales in person or face-to-face so I think that learning the art of cold calling would be really useful tool to have under my belt & put into practice to learn the whole ins and out of sales. So yes I do think I would be comfortable with making cold calls.
