About Avery Kibbe

I’m currently a student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, pursuing a degree in Marketing with a focus on Digital Visual Marketing and a collateral in Leadership. I’m a driven and goal-oriented individual who thrives in collaborative environments and stays actively involved in several campus organizations to build both personal and professional growth. As a full-time student balancing a part-time job, I’ve learned how to stay organized and manage my time effectively in order to consistently bring my best to everything I do. Some of my core strengths include harmony, positivity, conflict resolution, and adaptability. All of which are qualities that help me lead, connect with others, and navigate new challenges with confidence.This past summer, I had the privilege to take the next step in my professional journey as a sales intern with Clear Defense Pest Control in Charleston, SC. This opportunity was a pivotal moment for me, as it allowed me to sharpen my communication skills, step outside my comfort zone, and collaborate with a driven and motivated team. Long term, I hope to pursue a career in marketing or advertising, while continuing to grow my skills in sales and client relations. I’m always eager to connect with others in the industry, learn from new experiences, and take on challenges that push me to grow.
