### Marketing Intern @ UCSB Career Services
Jan 2011 – Jan 2013 | UCSB
I was hired with no previous design experience and therefore had to learn Adobe Creative Suite. After a few flyers, I was entrusted with designing all the marketing materials for the first ever two-day career fair that was seen by students and employers and attracted over 1,000 attendees.

I was also the sole designer for a number of workshops including the annual student branding event and the recruitment campaign for the Career Peer Advisor position. I often multi-tasked several projects at once using my time management skills to complete my tasks and meet deadlines.

### Career Peer Advisor @ UCSB Career Services

Career Peer Advisors are UCSB Career Service's frontline. I assessed students needs, referred them to our multitude of resources and also advised students on their résumés, internships and job searches. I also conducted presentations to students and faculty to create awareness and promote our student service.

### Visual Design Intern @ Anthropologie
Jan 2011 – Jan 2011
Inspired by the company and designed by the store's visual designer, our projects varied from hand sewing labels for linen to installing heavy-duty hooks in the store ceiling. I assisted by painting, building and applying paper mâché to one-of-a-kind pieces that were sprinkled throughout the store and hung in the front windows.
