GOALS
•
•
•
•
•
•
Marketing
is
the
future.
As
the
world
continues
to
change,
media
and
communications
starting
to
play
a
larger
more
important
role.
Combining
my
entrepreneurial
spirit
with
passion
for
writing,
I
see
myself
developing
greatly
in
this
field,
while
also
being
able
to
provide
value
back.
Having
already
developed
highly
transferable
skills
such
as
customer
relations,
sales,
and
teaching
I
understand
the
traits
that
such
a
job
entails.
Having
worked
in
the
digital
two
prominent
advertising
agencies,
I
have
understood
the
working
of
the
industry
while
also
picking
up
extremely
valuable
creative
skills.
My
ability
to
learn
quickly
and
my
ambitious
nature
are
assets
that
could
prove
to
be
invaluable.
My
long
term
goal
is
to
establish
an
independent
business
and
publish
books
that
will
help
and
inspire
people
around
the
world.
Working
in
advertising
is
the
first
steps
in
order
to
make
that
goal
a
reality.
