Grace Barrett

Growing up, I was surrounded by small businesses and learned to devote 120% to every task I undertake; hard work comes second nature to me. Working at two new small businesses taught me to appreciate the time and effort small business owners invest in their dreams. This has inspired the drive in me to work for the goals I set.

Prioritizing the work load that accompanies completing a dual degree has compelled me to manage my time, organize tasks and execute projects. As an executive on the board of Colleges Against Cancer, I have taken on two important roles, Director of Team Recruitment and Social Media Chair. As the Director of Team Recruitment, I use my communication skills to connect with potential participants to inform them on the steps needed to initiate the team building process. As Social Media Chair, I design content for our various social media platforms and promote our goals for each year's Relay for Life event. Both these positions have strengthened my personal and digital communication skills in this setting.

Using my experiences, I aspire to incorporate them into the business consulting setting. As a confident leader I am ready to work in a team to find the most efficient ways to satisfy clients while inspiring my team members to achieve their best. Being consistently organized, I will create timelines to ensure my tasks are completed by the deadline while interacting with team members to solidify the project's progression.
