Hello! My name is Alex Miller and I am twenty-two years old. I will be graduating from Towson University in December of 2009 with a Bachelor's Degree in Business with a concentration in Marketing. I currently reside in Westminster, MD but I work in both Hunt Valley, MD and also Lutherville, MD. I currently work for a State Farm agent in Hunt Valley. I have gained a lot of experience not only in the insurance business, but also in the general business world as well. I also hold a part time job at a place called Rebounders Gymnastics in Lutherville. There I teach little kids, ages 2-16 how to do gymnastics. I have coached gymnastics for five years which has taught me a great deal on how to be a good leader. Along with school and work, I have also volunteered my time to work at a summer camp. From the ages of 11-16 I was a camp counselor at a summer camp called Camp Hashawha. Volunteering with both kids and animals is ver y important to me, and I hope to dedicate a lot more of my time to volunteering once I graduate in December.
At my current job with State Farm, I have helped a great deal with marketing to our potential policyholders. I have used my knowledge of Microsoft Word to come up with both marketing flyers for auto and renters. Not only do I help with marketing, but I also deal with policyholders everyday. I have excellent people skills and love to communicate with others. I work well with my fellow co-workers, and always try to help them out in any way that I can. In a group atmoshpere I do tend to take charge in order to ensure the job will get done. However, I am not too demanding and I try my hardest to listen to everyones ideas and take everything into consideration. I also pride myself on having excellent organization and time management skills. I take every job I have very seriously, in order to guarentee a successful outcome for both me and my employer.

The tabs above are organized into 7 different sections, Home, Executive Summary, My Internship, Evaluation of my Internship, Resume, My Skills, and Contact Me.
