“Be afraid and do it anyway.”

Lauren Handy

I am a student at The University of Tampa majoring in marketing with a minor in public relations. Upon graduation, Spring 2023, I hope to pursue a career in digital marketing or branding. I have background experience in customer service, sales, creating marketing materials, event planning, leadership, and being a dynamic team member.

Education

As a marketing major I am in the Sykes College of Business at The University of Tampa, which is AACSB Accredited. My marketing coursework is focused on digital marketing, promotion and branding strategies, buyer behavior, marketing strategy, and marketing research. Additionally, I have a minor in public relations where I have taken courses like writing for public relations, media writing, media aesthetics and creativity, and digital media.















Work Experience

I completed a marketing internship the summer after high school at LensLock Inc. in San Diego, CA where I created my own marketing campaign and video that was used at conferences, ran email marketing campaigns, and used Salesforce daily. As a UT student I have an on-campus job as a First-Year Honors Mentor and an off-campus job as a certified yoga instructor and was the former social media manager at Palm Yoga. I am currently the Social Media Manager for Never Alone UT. I have event coordination experience from being the Director of Bid Day, Director of Senior Programming, and the current Director of Alumnae Relations for my sorority Delta Gamma. This upcoming summer I will be a marketing intern at Heritage Insurance.








Hard Skills

To further expand my knowledge I have completed HubSpot certifications in inbound, content, search, email, and social media marketing. I also completed my Google analytics certification and Google Ads certification.






















Soft Skills

I have extremely strong oral and written communication, time management, and leadership skills that compliment my efficiency, resilience, and passionate work ethic. As an honors student I had the privilege in taking a class titled Finding the Leader Within. This class taught me how learning/understanding about myself can help better my leadership skills as well as my various other soft skills.
