Portfolio
About
I am currently a senior at the University of Iowa. I will graduate
in May of 2025 with degrees in Business Analytics & Information
Systems and Marketing, as well as a minor in International
Relations.
Upon graduation, I will begin my full time job at HNI Corporation
on their Product Marketing Team.
As a Business Analytics student, I developed strong
analytical and technical skills through a combination of
coursework and real-world experience. I became proficient in
Excel and gained foundational knowledge in Python, SQL, and
data visualization tools like Orange. My studies included
hands-on projects with real businesses, allowing me to apply
classroom learning to practical challenges. Key courses
included Computational Thinking, Database Management, Data
Mining, Data Wrangling, Marketing Analytics, Digital Product
Management, and a Business Analytics Capstone, all of which
helped build my ability to analyze data, derive insights,
and support data-driven decision-making.
Marketing
As a Marketing student, I gained a deep understanding of the
philosophy and core activities of marketing, as well as the
external and internal environments that shape marketing
strategy. I studied buyer behavior, decision-making
frameworks, and developed skills in analyzing marketing
problems using spreadsheets and data-driven approaches. My
coursework included Consumer Behavior, Marketing Research,
Marketing Metrics, Marketing Analytics, Sports Marketing,
and a Marketing Capstone, all of which equipped me to
evaluate customer insights, design strategy, and support
effective, evidence-based marketing decisions.
Work Experience
As a Product Marketing Intern at HNI Workplace Furnishings,
which is what I will be doing full time after graduation, I
conducted financial and competitive analyses to support
product development strategies for conference table lines. I
assessed market trends to identify opportunities and
contributed to sales enablement materials that highlighted key
product features and benefits. Throughout my four years of
college, I have worked as a Store Lead at Clinton Street
Market, I manage day-to-day operations, delegate tasks among
staff to ensure efficiency, monitor inventory, and promote
teamwork to deliver excellent service. Previously, I worked as
a Store Associate at Kwik Star, where I gained experience in
cash handling, food preparation, and customer service. At
Hy-Vee, I served as an Aisles Online Personal Shopper, where I
honed my time management skills while fulfilling and
delivering grocery orders accurately and efficiently.
