What drew you to advertising/social media?
I enjoy making graphics and following trends on social media. I became interested in managing social media accounts after creating and running my high school field hockey team’s Instagram account.
Who or what inspires you?
My mom inspires me. She always works hard. Growing up, she took care of my brother and me by herself while working a 9 to 5 job. She’s the reason why I always want to work hard, even when I’m tired.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Growing up, I always wanted to be an architect. my brother and I would play with this software called Sketch Up on our desktop computer and make different houses together.
What do you think about when you’re alone in your car?
Not much. I’m usually just blasting music.
What is your most-used emoji?
Probably the laughing emoji with the tears coming out.
What is a professional goal that you hope to accomplish in the next five years?
In the next five years, I plan to work at an advertising agency with established clients who trust me and whom I have been worked with for years.
You can have anyone fictional as your imaginary friend, who do you choose and why?
Probably Tony Stark because he’s smart, rich, and can protect me.
Would you rather meet your travel back in time to meet your ancestors or to the future to meet your descendants? Why?
I would want to travel back in time to meet my ancestors because I don’t know much about my mom’s side of the family. It would be cool to find out how and why they decided to move to America. I also think meeting my descendants would be way too trippy.
If you could instantly be an expert in a subject, what would it be? Why?
Math 100% because I feel like it’s so impressive to be good at.
What are you most excited for during your time with Burkhart?
I am most excited to learn what working in a real marketing agency is like. Over the past few semesters, I have heard from so many guest speakers and professors about what to expect in a professional workplace, and I’m excited to see if it’s what I expected.
