Effective, Engaging Content Marketing

United States

As a Communications and French major, I have a great passion for meeting people from around the globe and communicating with them in the most effective ways possible. My experiences studying abroad in France and joining the Global Leadership Academy with API cemented my interest in the travel and tourism industry and honed my communication and presentation skills.

My time at Lifespan Corporate Services allowed me to perfect my technical writing skills, as I turned complicated and industry-specific information into user-friendly and informative content. My eagerness to learn was reflected in the various responsibilities I took on throughout the marketing department: Between content writing, web production, project and client management and video production, I was grateful to gather new skills and experiences from my colleagues and mentors, and offer my services to assist in projects that needed attention. I thrive in a collaborative environment and am always looking for opportunities for professional development.

Forget FOMO, get JOMO!

We've all experienced it from time to time, the internet's favorite acronym: FOMO, the Fear of Missing Out. We see our friends or family out doing something fun and posting pictures while we cannot be there. FOMO sets in, and we wonder how much fun they're having, who is there, what they're talking about, and so on.
