Curious about how ideas become impact

My interest in business comes from curiosity about how organizations build relationships with their audiences and turn ideas into successful projects. I am particularly interested in marketing and finance because they combine analytical thinking, communication, and strategy.

My experience as a Marketing Intern at Love.com has given me exposure to brand messaging, influencer outreach, partnership coordination, content calendars, and social media — and a clearer sense of how businesses communicate their identity across platforms.

I also developed communication and marketing experience with Dragon Theatre, creating brochures, flyers, banners, and posters while helping write press releases, newsletters, and website copy.

Entrepreneurship interests me because I enjoy creating something from an idea and figuring out how to make it useful and engaging for an audience. One of my projects is AccessTheArt.com, a website I founded, which combines my interests in technology, communication, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

I have also gained experience in social media through @gsdoftiktok, a TikTok account featuring my dog that has grown to more than 50,000 followers. Managing a growing audience has taught me about content creation, engagement, trends, and digital communication.

I believe leadership is about inclusion, collaboration, communication, and taking initiative. Being a leader is not simply holding a title — it is listening to others, making people feel included, taking responsibility, and helping a group move toward a common goal.

My goal as a leader is to bring people together, listen before making decisions, and create opportunities for others to contribute. The strongest leaders are not necessarily the loudest people in the room; they are the people who help everyone around them become more involved and successful.

My goal is to study business in college and eventually pursue a career in business or finance. I want to develop a strong understanding of financial decision-making while continuing to build skills in marketing, communication, management, and entrepreneurship.

Ultimately, I hope to build a career where I can combine financial knowledge, strategic thinking, communication, and creativity to solve problems and create meaningful opportunities.
