About
I have worked on a lot of medical research projects which has really helped me develop my skills in data analytics. With these skills I have gained I plan on combining my talents with my passion. I want to go into branding/market strategy. I want to take the different marketing concepts I have learned throughout my business courses, and combine it with my creative experience with music to help create synergies for businesses. I am very passionate about music and marketing, and I always strive to give more and do more than I did the day before.
