In one of my marketing research classes, I led a semester-long project studying brand perception for the healthy soda brand Poppi. I helped organize and recruit students for multiple focus groups, created the discussion guides, and led the sessions to get honest feedback about the brand. From there, I managed all of the notes and data, organized them into clear takeaways, and built a timeline to keep our group on track for each deliverable. That experience taught me how to juggle multiple moving pieces (recruiting participants, leading communications, and keeping everyone on schedule) which are the exact skills I’d bring to this role. I’m comfortable taking initiative, staying organized, and making sure everyone involved knows what needs to happen next.

I haven’t had the chance to participate in a gig on Home From College yet, but I’ve applied to quite a few and I’m really excited about the possibility of finally getting to work on one. This feels like such a great fit, and I’d love for to get my first official gig (I've applied to Saint James Tea, Monday Haircare, Hormbles Chormbles, and so many more!).
