To learn more about our newest Marketing Intern, read below. 

What drew you to advertising/social media?

I changed my major in my first year to business, not knowing what I wanted to do. After taking a social media marketing course, I knew I wanted to go into marketing. I was intrigued and inspired and looked forward to doing the work for the course.

Who or what inspires you?

My friends and family.

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A teacher. 

What do you think about when you’re alone in your car?

“Should I play Morgan Wallen or Luke Combs?”

What is your most-used emoji?

The pink heart 💗

What is a professional goal that you hope to accomplish in the next five years?

I hope that in the next five years, I have a steady job that I genuinely enjoy.

You can have anyone fictional as your imaginary friend, who do you choose and why?

Khloe Kardashian because I find her life so fascinating; she is hilarious and an amazing businesswoman.

Would you rather travel back in time to meet your ancestors or to the future to meet your descendants? Why?

I would choose to travel to the future rather than travel back in time. I feel like I could do enough research and learn about who my ancestors were. However, I can’t do that with my descendants, and I would like the opportunity to meet them.

If you could instantly be an expert in a subject, what would it be? Why?

Math because it was for sure the most challenging subject for me to learn throughout school.

What are you most excited for during your time with Burkhart?

I’m super excited to be a summer intern, so I can expand my marketing knowledge and better understand what a career in marketing looks like.
