I’m a strategic communications supervisor.
I was referred by a previous coworker.
I work with multi-million budget clients across all industries, including education, healthcare, and automotive.
Studying English is one of the smartest choices I made during my time at UNG. The skills I learned gave me the ability to flex across industries more successfully than my colleagues. English studies will open your mind and teach critical thinking that will be useful in whatever career you pursue.
When hiring new graduates, I look for a carefully crafted resume, great presentation skills, and written communication ability.
Although I was an English literature major, I ended up in marketing. My colleagues have formal education in the area, and although I do not, I am often relied upon more. Learning critical thinking skills mixed with communication makes one invaluable to companies. Too many times I have met brilliant people within marketing that do not succeed because they do not have the skills to communicate.
My senior seminar class was the most beneficial course. I almost wish I had taken it earlier in my undergraduate tenure. The course was challenging and fast-paced and helped prepare me for the type of pressure I would be under in my career.
I completed a minor in theatre. It helped me incredibly because it gave me presentation and people skills that most people lack. During interviews and meetings, I feel that I am often better prepared than my peers.
