toughest problems in today’s media.

lot of people attend and share information about the upcoming events.
• People like sharing and being part of their teammates success and the common person going to the gym
getting a workout in, love to have the access to the news and take pride into knowing that the places they

-Who else might you be competing with for a job, sale, or contract? How do you compare to them?
• While doing my research for competition, one person that stands out is Heidi Gutierrez. She is
currently working in my local area has been in the business for about two years. She received a
Master’s degree in Strategic Communication from Liberty University in 2017 and works as a content
and social media manager for a local company. As a newcomer in the media industry I believe that
this kind of competition in my area will allow me to step up to the plate and work extra hard to be at
the level of my competition. I have a lot of work to do, but at this time I can work to improve my skills
and become a professional to one day be able to become as good as the competitors. I’ve actually
met Heidi since we live in a small town and we go to work events and by judging her work ethic the
bar is set really high.

accounts and how to invite and attract more people into my platforms to increase my audience.
• Develop photography skills
• As of now, my mentor is Mr. Stefan Butin Bik. He is the owner of Butin Bik Combat Sports in Fl.
He is a role model and I believe in his teaching and strive to as good of a professional as he is.
Being in the martial arts world, learning a discipline in combat sports can give you live lessons.
Mr. Butin Bik teaches how to dedicate yourself to your craft and how to never give up on dreams.
This are some of the things I find that he can give me the help I need to become a professional.
• As a student of sports in a professional and recreational way, I learn new things every day. A good
professional and individual should aim to become better everyday. Life has teachings every single
day and as individuals it is imperative that we take advantage of them and be the best version of
ourselves.

seeking to grow your brand awareness? Improve your professional image? What
is the purpose for your personal branding endeavors?

learn more about my craft and create more content to support my growth.
• Taking on new projects
• Open professional social media accounts. This will allow me to start fresh and
attract my target audience. By inviting and promoting people to my professional
pages by sharing content, ideas and projects.
• I want to be conservative and give myself an adequate amount of time to market
my brand and get a response from people. By starting now, I could see a myself
getting to my goal of having at least 5,000 followers across all media platforms
by the Summer of 2020.
