My name is Elle Simmonds, and I am a junior at the University of Florida, seeking a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration with a focus on retail management. My academic journey at the University of Florida has been dedicated to excelling in various business studies. I am commited to continuously learning and building my professional and personal skills. My experience in door-to-door selling and as a customer service worker were invaluable in teaching me soft skills and how to conduct in-person sales. I have a history of entrepreneurial spirit, starting three businesses since the age of eleven. Recently I founded Designated Elle, a vintage timepiece and fine jewelry business, in which I developed a successful marketing and buying plan. As I progress through college, I am eager to leverage the knowledge and skills acquired through my coursework and outside experiences to make meaningful contributions throughout my professional career.
