Vanessa Contreras
Experience: I recently graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in Business Administration, #classof2019! I’m an Arizona native but I come from the sunniest place on earth, good ole’ Yuma, AZ! My family back home is tied to real estate and I became interested in the industry when I started going to college. I mainly focused on school during my college years but came across an internship opportunity with the Darwin Wall Real Estate Team toward the end of my senior year. I quickly applied and was very happy to know that I had gotten the position! I became the social media marketing intern and I have learned a lot within the past few months. Working with the team is so much fun and I love that I get to express my creativity through different social media platforms to help the team sell more homes!
I’m excited to continue working with this amazing team by being the Marketing Manager! There is still lots to learn about social media and marketing, but I’ll continue to expand my knowledge and experience with the team to make us stand out! I can’t wait to see what the future hold for all of us and keep a look out for our awesome content over all social media platforms! By Day: Marketing Manager By night: Weightlifter at East Valley Crossfit! I’m very passionate about Olympic style weightlifting and I dedicate a lot of my time toward training. It’s not an easy sport but it’s very rewarding. I do weightlifting competitions throughout the year and my overall goal with the sport is to compete at a national level. Outside of weightlifting, I’m starting to explore certain things that have really caught my attention like coding and photography. Working as the marketing manager also has me working on updating our website and I have gained a lot of interest behind what makes a website come to life! I plan to learn more about coding so in the future I could create websites for those who need one! Photography is also something that has gained my interest and it’s a great quality to have if I want to expand my overall media knowledge. |
Why?
Why marketing? My initial thought when I started was that I would be doing more administrative tasks, but I quickly learned that I would be working more on the marketing side of the business. I’m glad that I get to work with the marketing side because it lets me be creative with the content that we wish to push out to the public. Coming up with interesting and captivating content can be tough but it’s also a lot of fun and its rewarding. Growing up with social media I got a good understanding of how it all works, so social media marketing felt like the perfect fit with my interests and experience.
