During my senior year at Binghamton University, I enrolled in the School of Management's Strategic Media Planning course to expand my media knowledge and skills. 

​

The course — eligible for both graduate and undergraduate students who apply — works in conjunction with the ROI agency Zenith (part of Publicis Media) to allow student teams to work on an advertising media problem for real clients. 

​

Determined to win the case competition, our team held 3 meetings a week for 3 hours each. This allowed us to discover and use each person's strengths to our advantage when creating the media plan. As the only undergraduate in my assigned team of 5 students, I learned to overcome feelings of imposter syndrome to confidently share my insights and opinions.

​

After a mid-semester presentation, our team was selected to continue to the final round of evaluation.
