9 random things about me

The Presentation

As an intern at The Marketing Store, we were asked to give a presentation on what inspired us that summer (2013). I told the story of how I met an executive at McDonald’s in 2012 and how I tried to sell him my brother's veggie burger. Most importantly, I talked about how that relationship brought me to Chicago and the lesson behind giving a helping hand.
