Account Representative, Sales (Current Employee), Tampa, FL – January 4, 2013
First sales position selling hi-tech products for a world-wide leader in the field of radio communications. The most enjoyable part of the job is selling top of line equipment the customers know and appreciate. Not a lot sales sales support from the home office in Orlando where Radio One is located, but Motorola Corporate in Chicago is a first class – more... operation and very helpful. – less

My Ideal Career
Promotions Coordinator (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – December 17, 2012
Pros: networking with top artist and producers in the music business
Cons: late night work schedules, sometimes days without sleep...i love it!!!
I graduated from Clark Atlanta with a BA in mass communications with a concentration in radio/tv/film. I began working for a morning show radio producer as his assistant and then later became his marketing coordinator and public relations specialist. I loved everything about this position and enjoyed learning how to create marketing and public relations – more... packages for clients and local businesses. There was nothing hard about this job, the hard work I did, I did with a smile because I love the entertainment industry and setting up events for businesses and individuals. – less

Intern Experience
Intern (Former Employee), Richmond, VA – August 29, 2012
I was able to promote events on and off the air by interacting with listeners and communicating through social networking sites. I learned how a radio station operates from sales, programming, production, and marketing. I saw how every department had to do their part in order for the radio station to succeed as a whole.
