Helene Soma

I am a fourth-year student at the University of Florida graduating in May 2023 with a Bachelor of Science, Marketing and a minor in real estate. 

I have experience with marketing through hands-on experience, including a year-long internship at Peaceful Paths Domestic Abuse Network where I had the opportunity to experience event planning, manage digital marketing and social media presence, and work directly with the Director of Development. This environment allowed me to develop my adaptability skills and my ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with others. Additionally, I have gained valuable experience in troubleshooting and product management through my internship with the local business Study Edge. 

I look forward to connecting with you!

My most recent job experience was at Peaceful Paths Domestic Abuse Network in Gainesville, FL. I gained experience as a Marketing, Communications, and Social Media Intern from January 2022 to December 2022. The responsibilities of the internship included managing the digital marketing schedule, creating graphics and writing copy for social media, updating the website and social media accounts, advertising and planning events, and much more. This internship has given me invaluable experience in teamwork, working under the pressure of tight deadlines, and insight into how to run marketing campaigns for a nonprofit with finances, community relationships, digital marketing, and more.

Additionally,  I did an internship from August 2021 to December 2021 at Study Edge, LLC in Gainesville, FL. Study Edge provides educational resources to students through four services: Math Nation, Lecture PAL + Edge Prep, Tutor Matching Service, and Go Board. My responsibilities included: inspecting the Tutor Matching Service and Go Board services for technological errors and recommended potential solutions, searching through data to identify universities that would benefit from Study Edge's services, and marketing the company to 40,000 students at the University of Florida. I resolved customer service problems for over 10,000 users worldwide by composing emails on Salesforce and helped process invoices and payments for Study Edge products. I learned valuable customer service skills and improved my problem solving and teamwork abilities. 

I am pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in Marketing with a minor in Real Estate at the University of Florida. I am graduating in May of 2023 with a cumulative GPA of 3.3/4.0.
