About Tess Abedi

I’m a Sophomore at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business with a 3.7 GPA pursuing a B.S. in Global Business with a Global Marketing with Consumer Insights Concentration. I am seeking Summer Internships in Los Angeles or New York. At Fordham, as a Marketing Scholars Candidate, I am one of 50 students in a program aimed at providing unique, high-profile opportunities to advance marketing careers through visits to leading advertising agencies and exposure to other industry-leading professionals. I am also a member of the Fordham Marketing Association, Pre-Law Society, and competed on Fordham’s Mock Trial Team. My internships have allowed me to apply my classroom business skills in the real world. I am a PR & Marketing Intern for The Door Idea House, where I support the PR and social media strategies of high profile fashion, beauty, and lifestyle clients including adidas and Camille Rose. I gain market intelligence to inform client strategies and create pitches for media outlets to support client campaigns using MuckRack to identify relevant media outlets. I was also a Social Media Marketing Intern for Six Feet LLC, a consulting company that works with creators in the music industry and social media influencers. I utilized Canva and Capcut to create content and edit client promotional materials and ran Instagram and Tiktok accounts promoting client strategies. I also conducted market research to generate leads for client initiatives. Within Fordham’s academics, two hallmark programs that have allowed me to work in team settings for extended periods where I generated deep analysis and research to support a large final presentation. As part of Gabelli\'s Consulting Cup, I worked with a team of my peers to develop a tiered subscription plan for Electronic Arts that allowed users to access new games. During my freshman year, my team participated in the Ground Floor challenge creating a comprehensive business plan for The Playfinder Foundation, a non-profit organization that makes youth sports more accessible through partnerships with corporate partners and professional athletes.You may contact me at t•••@fordham.edu.I look forward to hearing from you!
