With a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and over three years of experience in digital marketing and content strategy, I am confident in my ability to contribute to your team’s success.

“Hey, Alex!” John’s voice practically crackled through the phone, overflowing with excitement. “Guess what?”
“Uh, you finally cleaned your apartment?” Alex teased, already laughing.
“Ha ha, very funny,” John shot back. “No, I got the job! The Marketing Specialist position I told you about—they called this morning!”
"No way! That’s awesome!” Alex’s genuine excitement burst through. “Wait, does this mean you’re finally moving out of that dingy little cubicle?”

 And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;

    And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming

And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;

And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
            Shall be lifted—nevermore!

What was that?

Just wakin' up in the mornin', gotta thank God
I don't know, but today seems kinda odd
No barkin' from the dog, no smog
And mama cooked the breakfast with no hog (Damn)
I got my grub on, but didn't pig out
Finally got a call from a girl I wanna dig out (What's up?)
Hooked it up for later as I hit the door
Thinkin', "Will I live another twenty-four?"

What about that one? Was was that?
