I’m currently located in Queens, NY. I’m in the process of getting my driver’s license, but I do have reliable transportation through public transit and an OMNY card, so I’m able to commute without any issues.

I haven’t officially represented a brand in a retail or promotional setting before, but I do have experience promoting events and engaging with different student groups. I’m comfortable talking to people, answering questions, and creating excitement around something new, which are all core parts of brand representation. I’m confident I can bring those skills into a retail or promotional environment.

If a customer is hesitant to try a new product, I’d approach it like a mini Shark Tank pitch—confident, concise, and focused on what matters to them. First, I’d ask a quick question to understand their hesitation, then I’d tailor my pitch to exactly what they care about. For example, I might say: “Totally get it—trying something new can be hit or miss. But here’s why this product stands out…” Then I’d highlight one or two powerful benefits, not everything at once—just enough to hook them. I’d follow that with a low-pressure invitation: “Honestly, you don’t have to take my word for it. Try a sample—no commitment. If you don’t love it, no worries.” This strategy works because it mixes confidence with comfort. You give them a reason to trust the product, and then you give them control. Most people are willing to try when the pitch is strong but the pressure is low
