Hello, my name is Lucy!
I am a recent graduate from the University of California, Irvine; I double majored in Business Administration and Political Science. My passions lie in creativity and exploration. I love travel, language, music, and art. I am in the process of learning different languages for countries that I want to eventually travel to and practicing the guitar and ukulele. Art holds a special place in my heart because I have taken classes from such a young age. Although I consider myself extremely motivated, there are some days where I like to stay in bed with a good book or show.
EXPERIENCE

Administrative Student Assistant

My experience here at the Claire Trevor School of the Arts DanceDepartment has given me the opportunity to hone many skills that I would need to succeed in the real world. Not only am I given the opportunity to work directly with my supervisors to plan events like the annual department auditions which host over 300 potential students, I am also able to practice multitasking since I am given multiple tasks each shift. This teaches me to prioritize and fulfill deadlines. In this position, I can also express my creative side by planning socials and outreach programs.

Green Wheat Field Bakery is a branch bakery originated from the providence of Guangdong, China. I was apart of the team that prepared before the Grand Opening and stayed until I had to go study abroad.

I had the chance to practice working on social media by helping this bakery create their personal website, Facebook page, Yelp page, and FiveStar account.

Marketing & Communications Intern
CELEBRATE FOREVER FOUNDATION
This internship was an extremely eye-opening experience. I was able to learn the basics of marketing and communications since I participated in the planning and execution of monthly events for different audiences through research and analysis. I also created social media posts using online programs and utilized Hootsuite to post. Critical project management meetings allowed me to grow comfortable communicating my ideas while providing my own feedback and opinion.
Mar. 2016 - Jan. 2017
Student Campus Representative
ZUMPER
During my first year of college, I sought out this internship because I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. This position allowed me to communicate with individuals across the country by reaching out to them on platforms like Facebook and Twitter. I was also more comfortable talking to students I did not know on campus by handing out flyers and setting up at table where I could be approached. I had the opportunity to write blog posts for the company regarding topics that many users had about housing. These posts can be found here!

CAMPUS INVOLVEMENTS
During my time so far at the University of California, Irvine, I have been mostly involved with the student body government of The Paul Merage School of Business - the Merage Undergraduate Student Association (MUSA). Before I graduate, I would have held 3 positions in this organization. I was a MUSA Representative my first year (2015-2016), the Vice President of Internal Relations my second year (2016-2017), and the Vice President of Communications my final year (2018-2019). I would have loved to have been in the organization all four years of my college career but since I studied abroad my third year, I was unable to run for office. The Association has given me so many opportunities to work with different students leaders as well as faculty. I appreciate that I am able to give back and help build a community where students can thrive. I can wholeheartedly say that MUSA has truly made my college experience something worthwhile and unforgettable.
MUSA Representative
As a MUSA Rep, I learned the basics of professionalism and networking. Along with the other reps, I planned and executed fundraisers and participated in community service events. This position gave me a good basis entering the business world.
VP of Internal Relations
For this position, my main task was governing the MUSA Reps program. This was a great learning experience because I was able to plan the schedule, requirements, meeting materials, and things needed for the program the operate smoothly. I also planned socials for both the board and the reps to mingle.
VP of Communications
This is my current position in MUSA. I am able to contribute to my organization and community by making sure that everything runs smoothly. And because I have previous experience on board, I am able to help those that need it by becoming a leader.
