PersonalBackground
Currently a senior at McKendree University, I graduate in December 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in business
with an emphasis in marketing. My love of sports led me to play soccer at McKendree. The experience as a
college athlete fed my competitive spirit, enhanced my leadership qualities, and built a foundation of self-
confidence. To balance life as a student athlete while working part time, I learned the importance of organization,
focus, and determination. My work history, which dates back to my freshman year of high school includes
positions that have required attention to detail, a customer service orientation, teamwork, the willingness to take
on new responsibilities and challenges, and the ability to adapt and learn quickly. My jobs have required a
positive attitude and outgoing personality. I believe my unique college experience as a student athlete and my
work history make me an ideal candidate for this internship.
Objective
To obtain a marketing internship to gain practical experience in my area of emphasis while using the skills I have
developed as a student athlete and a member of the workforce to add value as a member of your team.
