I am a fun, optimistic, hard worker looking to further my career in Marketing. I moved to Chicago excited for the opportunity to learn and grow in the media field. Right now I am an Advertising Account Coordinator. I work directly with big name brands like McDonald's, US Army, Southwest Airlines, Allstate and their agencies to make sure their campaigns are executed as ordered. In this position I get to plan events for our sales team to present their wares to the agencies. I am strategic with campaign buys helping to deliver certain numbers expected by the client. I have my hand in many different aspects of the company, which I like, but unfortunately growth is not an option.
Outside of work, I love hitting up all the new eateries around Chicago. I love delicious food and a beautiful ambiance. I am a member of our condo’s social committee, which gives me a chance to plan exciting events for our neighbors. I used to compete in gymnastics, so sometimes I do drop in classes to keep up my skills. Summer is the best time in the city. I love riding my bike on Lake Shore and taking in the rays at the beach when it’s Summer.
I have a zest for life and I am ready to further my career with you!
