About Ella Sawin

Hello! I’m a senior Marketing major at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California. I\'m passionate about delivering exceptional service to clients and customers, ensuring their needs are met with care and professionalism. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can work closely with coworkers to achieve shared goals. I\'m always eager to learn, take on new challenges, and continue growing both personally and professionally as I build my future career. During my time at Loyola Marymount University, I have been fortunate to engage in numerous enriching opportunities, including studying abroad in Bologna, Italy, actively participating in the Delta Gamma sorority, contributing as a member of the Belles Service Organization, and benefiting from a diverse array of stimulating courses both within and beyond my major. I currently am working a summer internship at IMA, Inc, where I am working on various carrier contact clean up projects, helping IMA better transition with all of their new company merges. I also still hold a part-time position at Anthropologie, where I have the opportunity to express my creativity through product placement and visual design, collaborate with colleagues, and foster relationships with both existing and new customers. These roles have greatly influenced my passion for various aspects of marketing, and it has inspired the direction I hope to pursue in my future career.
