Hello all, my name is Emily McLean!
I am a senior this year and I am majoring in Marketing, I am
really hoping to get in to either medical supplies sales or pharmaceutical
sales when I graduate. I am from Boulder, Colorado and really love everything
about it!
Things that really interest me are all activities that are
outdoors, I love to hike and camp. This summer I was able to climb a
14,000-foot mountain in Colorado called Mt. Missouri, the feeling when you
finally get to the top is indescribable! The cool thing about climbing most of
the 14’ers in Colorado is that once you reach the top you can see the peaks of
several other mountains not far off!

The most important thing that happened to me this past
summer though is the internship I had. I was lucky to intern with a company
based out of Denver, Colorado called Craftworks. This is the parent company
that owns 15 restaurant/breweries that range all over the United States. I was
able to intern with the Director of Marketing and it became a very educational
and fun internship. I was able to take a lot from it and see how real world
marketing applies to a range of levels within the food industry. At the same
time I was also working in one of the restaurants in the Denver area so I felt
it to be incredibly beneficial to see all levels of operation and gain a better
appreciation.
I am involved in a sorority on campus and it has been a
wonderful experience for me, I feel that I have gained so much from being a
member and grown as a person. It was initially scary for me to come to Oklahoma
from Colorado Freshman year knowing absolutely no one but the sorority I am in
really helped ease that transition.
I look forward to getting to read all of your blogs
throughput the semester and to get to know you all and your creative sides!
