I was born and raised In Spokane Washington. Unsure of what I wanted to do I chose business as my intended major when I First arrived at WSU. Business seemed like something I could do well in, and it sounded like you could do a lot of talking to people, which is something I love to do. After struggling my first year with math classes and scared of the math classes to come I found out about the Communication program. Initially my understanding of the Com School was for newspaper writing and broadcasting. I soon learned all the many options the program has to offer. I found out about the advertising option and this was right up my alley. Switching my major has been great for me and I can’t wait to dive further into it. I also just recently decided to double major in Communication Technology.
My dream job would be to work for Nike in the marketing department. I also would really like working for a startup company and see what my hard work could become in the long run. I think my hard work and collaborative skills are an asset of mine. I work well with others and often time come up with good ideas or help others fine tune their ideas. I can meet a deadline with plenty of time to fix any hiccups. When given a task in a group project I am good about doing my part, in addition open to suggestions from my group members.

I enjoy working with others and being social. I have lots of experience working with philanthropic and non-profit organizations. In the future I plan to continue to volunteer with philanthropic organizations and pursue a career at a public relations firm in the Seattle area.

I’m from Seattle, Washington and I'm currently a senior at Washington State University. I am pursuing a double major in Strategic Communication in advertising and Spanish. My parents are originally from Guadalajara, Mexico. They have helped me develop a deep appreciation for my culture and language. My dream job is to work for an organization that incorporates both of my majors. I’m excited to pursue my career in communication because I love collaborating with other people. I’m interested in knowing how to effectively create a message to communicate to an audience. I see myself as a compassionate teammate and a great multitasker.

I spent my early years in Northeast Ohio, before eventually migrating all over the U.S. with my family. I’m finishing up a degree in Strategic Communication, with a focus in advertising. I’m also very interested in behavioral psychology and hope to eventually integrate what I’ve learned as I progress towards a career in advertising and marketing. It’d be gratifying to work for an organization that had something of a philanthropic bent.
I find substantial enjoyment working with a team. Leading and collaborating on an idea or a project, figuring out what works and what doesn’t is always exciting. Listening to ideas, and maintaining an open mind are priorities for me, and character features I strive to embody everyday. I’m no stranger to hard work, as I’ve been working two jobs while going to school. Nevertheless I find ways to maintain a light-hearted positivity in everything I do.
