William Webb’s Summary

Currently searching for an entry-level position with a socially conscious company working on political issues or social activism. My past experience has given me a very important education that allows me to work confidently in a variety of situations that companies now need in their employees. This includes social media expertise, marketing work, client relationship building, activism, grassroots volunteer recruitment and leading, professional research skills, award winning written and oral communication skills.

I hope to be able to work with the government, or a government focused company that is looking to expand, has an energetic and driven staff, and demands a constant passion for working everyday to make the world a better place.
