My Experience
Social Media
Through my role as a social media assistant, I was able to collaborate in idea generation and content creation for my basketball team’s Instagram. We made several videos and posts to boost engagement and visibility for our program, which helped create a stronger connection between our team and the community.
in the classroom
Throughout my time as a student, I have taken many relevant courses that will help me transfer my skills and knowledge to the workplace. On top of this, I am a University of Hartford President’s Scholarship recipient, I have been named to the dean’s list multiple times, and in the past season (2023-2024) I was named to the CNE Academic All-Conference for my sport.
Certifications
I have currently obtained certifications from Google Ads Skill shop and SEMrush. These certifications are in Google Ads Video, Google Ads Measurement, Digital Content Marketing, Social Media Marketing, SEO, and Marketing Analytics. Through these certifications, I have gained skills in YouTube advertising, campaign performance optimization, and how to market on digital and social media platforms.

I believe that my greatest strength is my ability to manage my time effectively and my ability to thrive in pressure situations. These skills are a second nature to me, as I balance many responsibilities daily. Between class, practice, a job, and strength and conditioning, I always have to make sure that I am on top of my classwork and that I am giving 100% in everything I do. Last winter, I faced one of the toughest challenges in my life when I tore my ACL. On top of all of my already very full schedule, I now had to make time for 2 hours of rehab every day, while also dealing with the mental, emotional, and physical tolls of the injury. Getting around was harder, and the overall recovery process really tested me in a number of ways. Despite this, I had to overcome this challenge. I stayed dedicated to my schooling, supported my teammates, and still found a way to fulfill all of my other responsibilities. This experience not only highlights my ability to manage my time efficiently but also shows that I can adapt to change and challenges, while also completing my goals. These skills are something that I believe will allow me to succeed in a professional setting.
