About Susan Barrie

I am a sophomore at the Tippie College of Business at the University of Iowa, pursuing a triple major in Marketing, Finance, and Entrepreneurship. I am actively seeking an internship opportunity in the Chicago area at a mid-to-large-sized marketing firm, where I can apply my analytical skills and passion for organizational success.Through my involvement in the National Retail Federation, Accounting Society, and BizEdge, I have strengthened my networking abilities, developed a professional presence, and gained valuable insights into the business world. These experiences have allowed me to cultivate strong communication skills, build meaningful connections, and navigate professional environments with confidence.Additionally, my diverse work experience—including child care, a marketing internship at a nonprofit, and customer service—has refined my ability to manage multiple responsibilities, adapt to dynamic environments, and lead with efficiency. I have developed strong time management, delegation, and problem-solving skills that I am eager to bring into a corporate setting.I am excited to continue expanding my knowledge in accounting and Human Resources while gaining hands-on experience in the field. I look forward to connecting with professionals and exploring opportunities that will allow me to contribute meaningfully to a team.
