Hi, I'm Sophie. My profile's not quite there yet, but my enthusiasm for networking is!

At Missouri State University, I studied marketing and professional sales. During my time here, I was able to work with companies such as Frito Lay and create a marketing strategy that included branding and design ideas, as well as accurate trend forecasting. I was also able to expand my knowledge on consumer behavior and business strategy, all while studying effective branding from successful companies.
