Passionate creative mind looking for a summer 2016 internship

ABOUT ME

SKILLS

Four years at an engineering school, and another four to be

culminated with a finance degree -- it might be surprising that I
found an identity in art and design. But for me, thats the natural
next step: Im constantly looking for new ways to disrupt the system
and innovate for social change. Im focused on the ways these
cross-disciplinary intersections can build upon one another and
make something really cool happen. Life if an aesthetic phenomenon to be created and shaped together.

WORK EXPERIENCE

LANGUAGES

THE MODERN GROUP

English
Spanish

Marketing & Social Media Intern, 2015-Present

I create content for this late-stage start-up real estate firm based out
of the WeWork office spaces. I compile ideas for ways for us to
expand our reach and post content on a regular basis. I create
neighborhood guides for areas in NYC to give to potential clients
which give us an edge to our competitors.

SCHOLASTIC PRESS
Contracts Assistant, 2012-2014

I drafted contracts and communicated with international rights

agents on a day-to-day basis. I generated quarterly reports for our
contracts, wrote copy for international book fair pamphlets, and
completely reorganized our contract archival system. I also read my
fair share of manuscripts, listening to the new voices of NYC.

CHAIT & ASSOCIATES

Forensic Accounting Intern, 2012-2013

At this small forensic accounting firm, I immersed in the process and

learned the ins and outs of these cases. I often reviewed and
evaluated bank statements in Quicken, transformed files into our
digital archives, and worked on an array of projects. As a receptionist, I was able to fine-tine my professional communication skills.

I build a one-week service & immersion trip every year to Cherokee

other while examining racial, economical, and environmental issues
through a lens of social justice.

CUSTOMER SERVICE & STRANGER INTERACTION

Sprinkles Cupcakes | Papa Razzi | Sea Catch | Ri Ra | Joes | 2013-Present

I consider waitressing to be one of the most important things I have

ever done. I learned how to engage with different personalities and
embrace the nuances of humanity alongside a collection of
compassionate, caring coworkers. My time working in restaurants
reminds me of my penchant for meeting new people every day.

COMMONERS DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE PROJECT

Bergen County Academies, 2012-2013

Along with a small team of fellow students, I created and rendered

designs in AutoCAD for a new fitness center and atrium entrance for
the Bergen County Academies. I worked closely with the principal to
create artistic renderings to use for budget proposals for the project.
The newly designed fitness center was implemented in May 2013.
