Desarae is working on her bachelor’s degree in marketing with the Athletic & Outdoor Industry certificate.

“Before I graduated in the summer of 2023, I wanted to complete two tasks. The first goal was to get a marketing internship, and the second goal was to join a club. I am excited to have completed one and a half of those goals! I joined the AMA club in my junior year and then accepted a social media lead at the start of this academic year. I have not gotten a marketing internship, but I have done four freelance marketing jobs while balancing school and work full time. I have marketed for young retail and fashion brands. Now I am currently marketing for a local musician Leif Baker and for a ministry called Inner freedom. Some of my work can be seen on my marketing portfolio website listed below.

If I were to advise a student on completing goals, I would recommend being open-minded in achieving them in different ways. You never know what people you will meet in a club or if the next musician you market for will be next year's headliner.”
