Hannah's Journey

Blogger
I've brought website traffic to a brand new real estate company by blogging my personal real estate experiences as well as self-help blogs for young people interested in real estate. My blogs have generated the most activity on the site so far, with over 400 views on individual posts and over 2,300 reads in total.
Airbnb Superhost
My communication skills have proven to be beneficial in achieving Superhost status in my role as a rental property manager for several vacation homes throughout The Bahamas. With over 50 reviews in the past two years, I've been rated 5 stars for communication from every single guest.
Blogger
I wrote biweekly blogs for a local real estate company on general real estate topics, to attract readers with a wide range of interests from mortgages to local events.
Transcriber
This was a one-off project for a marketing company, yet it was one of my most sentimental roles to date. I was contacted to transcribe a documentary on Hurricane Dorian for a foreign company, as a number of interviewees were speaking in Bahamian Creole English. Although it was a deeply saddening topic, I was honored that my research history in this topic and experience from my Linguistics degree were able to be put to use to bring awareness to the devastation experienced in the Bahamian islands in September 2019.
Event Staff
This role involved not only preparing event venues and promoting future events to attendees, but also promoting future events on social media to attract university students.
Administration Assistant
My time at the nursery was by far one of my favorite jobs to date. In the office, I communicated essential, confidential information to parents and staff alike, while I would also assist in the classrooms and help to foster communication among children ages 3 months to 5 years old. This was the job that instilled in me the importance of empathy, patience and respect when interacting with clients of all ages.
Administration and Compliance Assistant
There may be no industry where organizational and time management skills are more intertwined than in banking. I undertake administration and compliance tasks in this role, showcasing my ability to multitask while ensuring that all protocols are followed and no mistakes are made. For that reason, the skills enforced by this job push me to be a perfectionist in all aspects of my professional life.
Project Coordinator
Tasked to establish an Academic Volunteer Project, I acted as the liaison between students, charities and academic schools within my university.
Social Secretary
This was a volunteer role, but a crucial one in my personal and professional development nonetheless. I organized weekly socials for a university society of over 200 members while assisting with show and competition coordination. This role required me to communicate efficiently to my committee, all 200 society members and external stakeholders in order to foster a safe, enjoyable social experience for all. My effort along with that of the rest of my fellow committee members led us to win the Society of the Year award.
Education
BA Business Administration & English Language and Linguistics, First Class Honors
I completed a joint honors Bachelors degree which incorporated Business modules as well as Linguistics modules over a number of disciplines including sociolinguistics, syntax and pragmatics.
Specific areas that I found fascinating in my degree involved the study of language in the media and how language impacts relationships. I find these to be most useful in both my personal and professional life.
My undergraduate dissertation studied the evolution of Bahamian Creole English.
MSc Marketing, First Class Honors
Building on the skills and knowledge gained from my undergraduate degree in Business Administration & English Language and Linguistics, my postgraduate degree in Marketing combined both areas of study.
My MSc dissertation was a study on the relationship between nationality and responses to tourism advertisements in the Bahamian domestic tourism industry.
