About Kassey Merchant
I am a junior at Auburn University studying Business Analytics and Marketing, passionate about serving people, leading with purpose, and making a positive impact in every community I’m part of. I’m driven by connection- ensuring that people, regardless of where they are in life, feel seen, empowered, and able to find common ground.I’m especially drawn to sales, because at its core, sales is about human connection. It’s about creating meaningful moments, understanding needs, and showing up with energy, empathy, and excellence. I strongly believe that the heart of great sales and marketing is people.Through nearly five years as a barista at Starbucks, I’ve developed strong communication skills, thrived in fast-paced environments, and learned how to adapt quickly while delivering memorable service. This experience shaped my people-first mindset and taught me how to listen actively, solve problems in the moment, and lead with positivity- even during the busiest rushes.My CliftonStrengths: Woo, Positivity, Empathy, Communication, and Arranger- reflect how I naturally lead and connect. I enjoy building relationships, bringing uplifting energy to teams, understanding others’ perspectives, and organizing chaos into effective solutions.Looking ahead, I’m excited to pursue opportunities in sales, marketing, or brand strategy where I can continue growing, contribute meaningfully, and be part of work rooted in ambition, integrity, and community- values I’ve learned through Auburn and proudly carry as an Auburn woman.War Eagle!
