Summary
I’m a first-year Marketing major at James Madison University with a passion for creativity, communication, and connecting with people. Through my experiences as a nanny, pet sitter, and food service worker, I’ve learned how to stay organized, adapt quickly, and build trust with others. Volunteering as a mentor has also strengthened my leadership and teamwork skills. I’m excited to bring my enthusiasm and fresh perspective to the summer associates internship program with Navy Federal and to start gaining real-world experience in the field.
