About Joshua Young
As a recent graduate from the University of Colorado Boulder with a major in Communication and Media Studies and a minor in Business, I’ve built a strong foundation in relationship-building, persuasion, and strategic communication, skills that align closely with my natural passion for sales. My experience also spans across multiple industries, including retail, tech, and media, where I’ve developed a proven ability to engage clients and drive measurable growth. From regional sales development at a tech-based eyewear company to overseeing social media channels and editing AI content for companies like OpenAI, I’ve learned how to perform and thrive in fast-paced, high-performing environments.Beyond sales, I maintain a lasting interest in creative industries such as fashion, branding, and merchandising. If I ever choose to explore a different path, I see myself contributing to creative ventures that combine business with design and media strategy. In summary, I am driven by competition, growth, and the energy that comes from working in dynamic environments, especially within high-profile, high-growth organizations. I take pride in being coachable, goal-oriented, and I am extremely motivated by the opportunity to connect with people while driving success in any way possible.
