Hi! My name is a Dakota Johnson, and I am a current graduate student at High Point University enrolled in the Communications and Business Leadership Program. I recently graduated from my undergraduate program with a Bachelor's Degree in Sport Management, with a minor in Marketing. My extracurricular activities include Leadership Fellows at HPU, as well as being a member of the Hockey Team at High Point.
One accomplishment I am extremely proud of in my academic career is the internship that I worked last summer. I was an event sales intern at a company called Sports Promotions Group. My major accomplishment was being one of a few interns picked to help run sales and marketing strategies at a professional soccer match between Real Madrid and AC Milan in July 2023 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. I was able to apply the knowledge and skills that I have learned in my time at High Point to help lead our sales team to generate ~ 2 million in sales from a one day event.
One of the biggest positives that I think I bring to the table is my work ethic. I am a person that grew up in a blue collar family, and that mindset has prepared me for the corporate world in a great way. I truly think that my work ethic and my mindset about doing hard work as a way to separate myself from the crowd is one of my best attributes.
