About Me.
I have learned a tremendous amount of business and networking skills during my time at UHart. Other than the experience I have gained as a student, I have gained professional work experience as well. I have great work ethic and I love to learn. My favorite thing is making people happy and I strive to create joy at any available opportunity.
poemRENOVATION
During summer 2026, I gained experience as poemRENOVATION’s marketing intern. Some of the things I accomplished and experienced was: Created brand relevant social media content. Helped curate website blogs and monthly newsletters. Organized excel sheets for media planning and potential customers. Developed email templates. Attended and assisted workshops.
Upper Albany Main Street
During my time at UHart I had the great experience of working with Upper Albany Main Street. During my MKT 282- Small Business Practicum class, students gain experience working with micro businesses in Hartford’s Upper Albany neighborhood. Participants are assigned to specific businesses and will assist them in specific areas as defined by each business’s needs assessments. I was able to work closely with a small business and help them out with their current projects.
Target Stores
I currently hold a role at Target store as a guest advocate. Throughout this role I have been able to utilize my customer service skills and make a meaningful and rememberable experience for everyone that walks through the door. Customer service is a role I know very well and I take pride in. I love being able to make people smile and grow close to store regulars. Everyday I work closely with my team to make sure we meet our goals and stay on top of guest experience quality.
BigY World Class Market
BigY World Class Market was my first retail job. After almost 3 years of working with them, I was able to build my people skills and work closely with coworkers to make customers have a happy experience while shopping for their groceries. During my second year of working at BigY, I was rewarded employee of the month in September 2022 for my excellent customer service and ability to care for customers.
University of Hartford
The University of Hartford and the Barney School of Business has been one of the greatest period of time I have ever experienced. During my time there I have learned valuable lessons and skills. My biggest takeaway from the business school is that your network matters. The people you know and the connections you make can make all the difference to your future and the opportunities you may come across.
