I love idea-generating. Whether it be for marketing or strategic planning (but not limited to); it's a passion that truly drives my soul. Problem-solving is among my top skills and I have found that it is often what is most needed in strategic development. I am also very passionate about communication, writing, words themselves and their etymology. I am happiest with opportunities that allow me to write using words combined with psychology to reach readers in a way that completely immerses them. Planning and coordinating events really spark my interest as well, and I am always seeking further development in that field. The actual planning and creative sides interest me as well as the budgeting and negotiation processes with partners and/or sponsors. In the long-term, something that I'm really interested in doing would be going back to school to get my Masters in International Relations with a minor in Linguistics and ultimately gaining an opportunity to work in the UN to really utilize my current and potential language skills for a greater good.
