About Me

My Background

When I arrived at Florida State, I was unsure of what I wanted to major in. In the end, I chose marketing, as I believed it would provide me with many opportunities to learn valuable soft skills and allow me to be versatile across multiple industries. However, everything changed for me when I had a meeting with one of my teachers; he asked me about myself, why I chose to go to FSU, and why I chose marketing. I told him how I had considered computer science prior to choosing marketing, to which he told me to look at MIS. That afternoon, I added MIS as a second major.

In my time at FSU, I learned many valuable skills throughout my curriculum. I learned how to work with a team in a professional setting and understood what went into a successful group of students coming together. I learned the fundamentals of data analysis using Excel and how to apply Excel in real-world adjacent projects and scenarios, as we created both a college-fit matching tool and a fully functional relational database for a fictional company. I also learned how to discover marketing insights using SPSS for data analysis, as well as how to work in an agile environment and use project management tools to complete deliverables.

In addition to my time at FSU, I began interning at Prolydian, working with their Sales & Marketing team, specifically helping with content creation for LinkedIn. Over the course of a few months, I began to grow into more responsibilities and new technologies. I started working with our CRM software, Pipedrive, where I helped build email automations and communications for client outreach, as well as updating our records. I also conducted marketing research, performed QA tests, and worked with our enterprise clients as a point of contact to ensure their programs were running smoothly.
