About Matthew Jennings

I’ve held many jobs before and during my time at MSU. In high school, I was a manager with my local Jet\'s Pizza for two years and a tennis coach at my school for one year. Over the summer of 2024, I worked full-time as a carpenter\'s apprentice. Most recently, I wrapped up a door-to-door sales representative position at Ecoshield Pest Solutions, where I generated $170k in new revenue over 4 months through cold sales. This role taught me the sales process, mastering persuasive communication, objection handling, and closing abilities. I’m looking for an internship opportunity in sales/marketing.
