Dear Hiring Manager, 

I am excited to apply for the position at your company. With my extensive background in sales, marketing and management, I am more than confident that I would be an asset to your team. Most recently, I worked at MarketCounsel Consulting, as Chief of Staff, where I collaborated closely with the CEO and executive team to develop and implement strategic plans for a leading business and regulatory compliance consultancy to the country’s preeminent registered independent investment advisors (RIAs). I facilitated communications and acted as a liaison across departments to ensure the alignment of team efforts with company objectives, and prepared and reviewed executive communications, presentations, and reports. In addition, I produced internal and external events including the 2023 and 2024 MarketCounsel Summits in Las Vegas. 

I have held a New Jersey Real Estate license since 2014, selling multi-million-dollar homes throughout the state. As a market expert, specializing in developing real estate opportunities in Bergen and Hudson Counties, I prospect clients and generate leads through creative marketing campaigns and outreach programs. 

In my previous role as a Marketing Director, I led a team at a niche promotional company in the music industry, Don’t Think Twice Media. Aside from creating campaigns for top recording artists and planning national concert tours, I produced high-exposure red carpet events for the MTV Video Music Awards and NFL Super Bowl. I locked down celebrity hosts and VIP guests, secured corporate sponsorships and managed entertainment. 

In addition to my career, I volunteer at various local organizations. This past election, I was proudly re-elected to serve another 3-year term as a board member on the prestigious Northern Valley Regional High School Board of Education which oversees two top-rated high schools as well as a much sought after special needs facility. I am also the chairperson for the Old Tappan Town Day Committee that organizes an annual outdoor festival for the residents of the town of Old Tappan, NJ. We draw in a crowd of over 1,000 people with fun carnival rides, games, food trucks, petting zoo and music. I founded and lead a weekly after school bible club at our local elementary school for children in kindergarten to 4th grades. 

I am very enthusiastic about the opportunity to join and contribute to your team. I would welcome the chance to discuss how my background and skills can be in line with your goals. Thank you for considering my application. 

Sincerely, 

Michele LaTour Houston
