Artifacts
During high school, I pursued my interested in business by attending a summer business program for high school students through the Network of Executive Women. The program helped expand my understanding of the various career paths within business, particularly in the packaged goods industry. I learned about product development, data analytics, the various sub-fields of marketing, and much more. Through the event, I was able to further develop my understanding of the multifaceted applications of business. During the program, I was able to practice coming up with a product and conducting an elevator pitch. The picture below shows the product idea that myself and my teammates came up with and then pitched to the business women who ran the program. This program was very beneficial to me because it helped me get a taste of the different fields of business. Additionally, this program was very beneficial for my academic development because it lead me to decide that I wanted to pursue marketing as my major in college.
About Me
Hello, my name is Katharine McDonald. I am a first year business student at The Ohio State University Max M. Fisher College of Business. I am a marketing major and I am a member of the Business Scholars program.
Currently, my goal for my career is to work in the marketing field within the cosmetics industry. I have been keenly interested in this industry for years now. My passion for this industry began five years ago as a hobby, but since then it has evolved into something I am passionate about pursuing for my career. While in high school, I continued my interest by starting a cosmetics blog. Additionally, I further developed my interest in this industry as a career by taking part in multiple summer business programs. I attended a multi day business program for high school students through the Network of Executive Women. Through this program I was able to further expand my understanding of the various areas, career paths, and applications of business. I also attended the Harvard Weekend Business Academy to broaden my experience and understanding of business, particularly in entrepreneurship.
