Kathryn Heiar’s Summary
As a junior marketing major and public relations minor, I've been trying to explore options within these areas. This past summer I interned as an account executive selling print advertisements. Though sales was exciting, challenging, and an amazing growth experience, I'm now looking to get experience within an advertising agency or marketing department of a company. I have much experience working with professionals in the business world through my past internship as well as Pi Sigma Epsilon, a sales and marketing organization at UNI. My goal is to take this experience and continue applying it and learning more about marketing in today's society.
