Why Promotions?

I was really interested in the hands-on experience that “Promo” offers. Working with a real client and interacting with today’s culture and markets are so much fun, and it’s an experience that very few classes at UVA offer.

Relevant skill set?

Writing, market research, media marketing, collaboration

Extracurricular activities?

-Cavalier Marching Band
-Marketing Chairman, Fourth-Year Trustees

Career aspiration?

I want to work in consumer insights/strategy or in brand management. I really love finding what makes people tick and how various products can appeal to them!

Course recommendations?

-Greek Mythology (Ivana Petrovic)
-Introduction to Eastern Religious Traditions (Michael Allen)
