Certifications

Google Analytics

I used this certification to measure the performance of a website I created for a digital marketing class. I studied the insights and determined how I could better optimize the site.

Hubspot Email Marketing

As the director of marketing for an on-campus organization, I send a lot of e-blasts to students. Informing the organization about meetings, opportunities, and events are all a part of my job. I utilize this certification by implementing strategies to make the e-blasts more engaging; this promotes the click rate, and conversion rate and manages subscriptions.

Hubspot Social Media Marketing

I utilized this certification in all of my internship experiences; building reach and boosting engagement was a vital part of managing social media accounts and creating meaningful content.

Hubspot Content Marketing

This certification was extremely useful for my experiences in ticket sales. I need to know what part of the buyer’s journey the audience is at and adjust my content accordingly.
