Get To Know Me!
Hello! My name is Tatum and I am so happy you’re here! I am from Orange County California, but currently studying as a sophomore at the University of Kentucky. I am majoring in Integrated Strategic Communications learning all about promotional communication, including advertising, public relations, direct response communication, sales promotion and social media promotion.
Throughout my life, I have found that creativity is what I do best. Whether I was acting on stage, taking photos for my middle school events, or editing a video project my creativity was always present. As I got older, I grew a love for all things marketing including social media, photography, content editing, and campaigns. It wasn’t until I was given real opportunities that I truly began to apply my creative skills while also learning new ones in a professional setting. Last summer, I had the privilege of interning for a construction company where I organized a social media calendar, created and posted content, and contributed to multiple campaigns. While I loved bringing creativity into the role, my favorite part was learning something new every day and figuring out how to market for a specific industry. If you want to learn more about my experiences, my resume is linked on the front page of this website.
Other than being creative, I would describe myself as an outgoing and driven person. I’ve always loved being around people and getting to know new faces. With my people skills, I have been able to establish connections, find opportunities, and further create a drive to learn, create, and experience in all things. My past roles in marketing, internships, and leadership positions have strengthened my ability to manage projects, contribute fresh ideas, and collaborate effectively. One thing you should know about me is that I am always eager to take on new opportunities and learn new things. One goal of mine is to gain experience in advertising in multiple industries, to gain knowledge and prepare myself for my future roles. Looking ahead, I aim to continue working in social media, campaign management, and communications. I am eager to bring my creativity, learn new things, and help brands achieve their goals.
