A Bit About Me
I have multiple disciplinary backgrounds, with an Associates of Arts degree from Cuyahoga Community College in 2017, as well as a Bachelor's of Specialized Studies in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, and Media from Ohio University in 2019. Using a combination of both degrees, I am competent and confident in the following areas, including, but not limited to:
fundraising, advertisements via: flyers, digital and social means; email marketing communications, and social media management & optimization, Google analytics, and much more! I am hands-on, fast learner, with the ability to adapt and be flexible in any given situation. Most importantly I enjoy a good challenge and love problem solving. My ability to multi-task has afforded me an opportunity to master many skills all at one time, leaving me with the diverse background that stands before you today.
Aside from being a diligent worker, I am full-time single mom. I have one baby boy who is now 1 and 1/2 years old and spends majority of his time with me or with his grandparents (no current daycare in place, as of right now). As an African American woman, my ideal workplace and environment consist of flexibility and being in a team player environment. Room to grow within the organization without fear of limitation on upward mobility, and some form of diversity, equity, and inclusion. These core values being present within the company goals, morals, mission statement, or company environment is very important, as a young African American woman. The company and/or organization recognizes and understands the importance of diversity and inclusion and has system(s) in place to protect its minority and diversity hires.
