Candidate:

Ms. Ballerina

About Me:

I’m a product manager at a Fortune 100 company and I dance professionally on the side. I also teach dance to kids and adults. I run a career-based podcast called “Style, Not Fashion”. I went to one of the best business schools in the Northeast majoring in Marketing, and minoring in French- I also studied abroad in FR.

My product manager job is a contract- mention this? I am also a first-generation college student.
– I am on the BUSINESS side of fashion. I was never an arts student.
– I have lived very close to Harvard my whole life. I was thinking this might give me some type of home-field advantage. Do they want to see their community represented in their school?

    Hi Ms. Ballerina, So coming from a dance background myself, I couldn’t resist commenting on your profile.

But in addition you have such a great breadth of interesting strands to your story – a marketing degree and a role with a Fortune 100 which showcases some commercial understanding (I don’t see too much of an issue in the fact that it is a contract position), a podcast, choreography…the list goes on.
