As a young and motivated individual, with a degree in Marketing and 1 and a half years living and working in HR in Mexico, I am very interested in Marketing, HR, Recruitment, and Sales positions.

In May of 2015 I completed my Bachelor’s Degree with a major in Marketing at Illinois State University. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work in Marketing, English Teaching, Training, Human Resources, and Sales. This has given me a range of capabilities that I believe, will allow me to meet the needs of this role.

While completing my degree I worked as a Sales intern with the local minor league baseball club. I was managing the client database as well as researching and generating new potential leads. Then, I studied for 5 months in Mexico where I was a Marketing Intern with an event-organizing company. As Marketing Intern, I was tasked with developing a marketing plan for the company, as well as working on competitive and SWOT analysis reports. I also created and then began managing a social media calendar for the organization.

Since graduation, I have worked as an English teacher and as the Human Resources Manager of a language institute in central Mexico. During my time at the language institute, I was usually speaking 50% of the time in English and 50% of the time in Spanish (writing professional emails, interviewing candidates to fill new positions, helping with the visa process for new hires, and managing daily operations at the office).

My teachers and employers have commended me for my high level of interpersonal skills and naturally engaging personality. I grew up on a farm, I lived in Mexico for 3.5 years, and I can talk with anyone about anything. I am strongly motivated by opportunities to learn new things, and by new challenges. I am also very curious about everything. If there is something that I don't know or don't understand, I always want to learn more and more about it. I believe that these soft skills will help me to be a valuable team member to any organization.
