Marilyn Hill’s Summary

Thank you for visiting my LinkedIn profile. I am interested in building my network through the LinkedIn Community. I am a firm believer that the best opportunities come through those we know and those who know us. If you are interested in the same, please feel free to send me an invitation to mkh37206@gmail.com.

Currently, I am attending the International Academy of Design & Technology in Donelson, TN where I am pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design. In addition to the skills I am developing now in school, I have a strong work experience which would make me an ideal candidate for employers searching for someone who is passionate with what they are doing as well as balanced in their skill set.

My goal is to continue developing new skills, enhancing my current skill set, and to strengthen my professional network with others in the interior design, architectural, and developer communities. I strive to find and champion new skills and ideas, seek better ways to manage knowledge assets, and continually develop further into being an asset to both an employer and to my community.

I am eager build relationships with professionals and individuals who have similar interests as myself.
