CAMPUS INVOLVEMENT

As a club member of the American Marketing Association (AMA) at CSULB, I had the opportunity to actively engaged in marketing discussions and networking events to deepen my industry knowledge. As well as participate in workshops and guest lectures to stay informed about the latest marketing trends.

Grow Beach Garden

Two galvanized metal planters side by side on a concrete surface, each containing lush green lettuce plants. Small round white plant labels and green oscillating fans are visible in the soil of each planter. Other potted plants are seen in the background.

As a volunteer at the Grow Beach Garden on campus, I focused on maintaining the crops: learning how temperature, moisture, and sunlight interact to shape plant health. Just as plants require specific conditions to flourish, marketing strategies must consider their environmental impact. By advocating for local produce, businesses can reduce their carbon footprints and educate consumers about sustainable choices. This broader impact promotes environmental awareness and encourages a rethink of consumption habits.
