My Elevator Pitch

I'm a undergraduate student in Communications, concentration in Advertising. I'm a really outspoken person who loves to make friends all over the globe. I consider myself an easy going and active girl, also I'm really focus on my goals and future. Now that I graduated from College in Brazil, I have plans of going to school in a different country in order to improve my resumed and my future career. Travel was always one of my biggest passion, and for this reason I took couple semesters off during my college life to experience life in the U.S and improve my English skills. During this period I had the opportunity to work in an american company and also take ESL classes at Hunter College NY. Live in New York City was the best experience I ever had. I made a lot of really good friends and it helped me to realize that get an International degree for my MBA, is more than a good option, is what I want for my future.
