Raquel Amaya
BBA in Marketing & Managing People and Organizations, Texas Christian University
Area(s) of Interest: Music, TV/film, Fine arts, Performing arts, Theatre, Dance, Nonprofit work, PR/Marketing
Experience: One of my most significant extra curricular experiences was being a Managing Frog Camp Director during the summer of 2021. Frog Camp is an extended orientation program at TCU where I got to lead/work alongside 11 of my peers in planning and executing over 10 camps for incoming first year students that summer. Second, I would say that being a part of the Neeley School of Business was a significant experience because I really learned the value of working in teams and being a leader. I was challenged academically and given a lot of guidance in my professional development.
Ideal Job in 10 Years: Working at a VP level within a performing arts organization
What led you to enroll in the MSLCE program at Northwestern?
What led me to this program was wanting to build a network and find a way to enter the arts & culture realm without having any prior experience or knowledge on how to do so. I also just have a lot of interests and think I could excel in different ways so I thought this program would be a great way to hone in on a particular interest.
What are you most looking forward to about the MSLCE program? I’m most excited for the internship experience and being a part of a cohort with people who are both very different from me but also share similar interests and goals.
If you had to describe yourself in three words, they would be…
