While mixing, coordinate the guest experience from booking through departure and create unique quest experiences by researching and executing leisurely and culturally enriching activities.

-While on summer break, spend 3 months as a social networking intern at DKC Public Relations & Integrated Marketing firm in NYC. Research new digital marketing platforms to uncover relevant and targeted opportunities for high profile, consumer-facing clients such as New Balance.

-Stir in some of the professional skills acquired by being a part of the Warrington College of Business’s Florida Leadership Academy.

Enjoy!
