- About Me: My name is Jeani Tamakloe. I am currently a senior at Drake University studying management and marketing with a concentration in HR. I am from Ghana, West Africa although according to my passport I happen to be German. (It’s a long story)
My passion for event planning and marketing probably started when I found myself in the position of entertainment prefect in my boarding school. Being the entertainment prefect meant two things I had to plan an event for about 350 people every Saturday and I had to please both the students and teachers. So coming into college in the U.S. I got myself busy with numerous student organizations and that was a totally different experience in itself
The dynamic nature of event planning is eventually what had me hooked to the industry. No two events are ever the same. (I don’t care how many dance parties you want to have the planning for each one will be different. You can mix it up….have a theme, a dress code, a new DJ, a different setting the possibilities are endless)
My dream job is to manage an event location that hosts shows like The Lion King on Broadway or Cirque du Soleil. I would also like to be able to manage marketing initiatives for the location (so more business to business marketing)
I am hoping to find an entry level job in event management or marketing upon graduation in May 2014 in either the US or the UK.
