I am an English and Economics major at the University of Nevada, Las vegas. My robust experience in non-profit marketing and data visualization, my  \nacademic background in research design, and my passion for connecting diverse communities to  health-focused resources make me a great candidate for this position.  \n As a Digital Marketing intern at the World Bank, I monitored partner institution’s social media accounts for content that was shared via our four media channels. I also maintained SEO keyword benchmarking and assisted with content optimization. My experience contributing to targeted communications for thought leaders and potential partners helped me hone skills in research, writing, and editing. I enjoyed the fast-paced and issue-focused environment, and my work resulted in a 5% increase in subscribers to our opt-in email newsletter.  \nIn my economics courses, I have had the opportunity to build skills in quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. In a course called Comparative Economic Systems, I produced a 25-page paper on “The Economics of Immigration.” For this project, I compiled and analyzed data from the Congressional Budget Office, Federal Reserve Banks, and Labor Economics journals to produce a  \nreport that compared shifts in public opinions on immigration to the percentage of labor that is  foreign-born.  \nI am particularly excited about this position because of the opportunity to manage and assist with programming social content for the Coke Foundation.
