Louisa MESNARD

Rueil-Malmaison

En résumé

Bilingual English/French looking for a new challenge abroad from March 2015.

Student at ESSCA, a French Business school, I am currently on a world tour meeting French entrepreneurs abroad before finishing my masters in web marketing.

My father is French, my mother Irish, so I am fluent in both languages. I have worked and lived in Spain, and so speak and write Spanish at a high level. I learnt Mandarin (Putonghua) Chinese, having lived in Nanjing and Shanghai for a total of almost a year.

Born with an entrepreneurial spirit, I have a long lasting interest in business (in my last two years in secondary school, I started and successfully developed my own firm organizing children's' birthday parties). Being in charge of business-school societies has allowed me to see projects through from start to finish, to be responsible, and to work as a team player.

For my degree, I am studying law, finance, accounting, human resources, management, marketing and international business. I have also had the chance to explore different aspects of an organization's management. Through my work projects, I have developed project management and presentation development skills. I believe these are assets when it comes to understanding a brand and its strategy.

I am particularly interested in roles where I can demonstrate my skills in languages, team work and develop as well as complete challenging projects.

I am currently looking for an internship proposition abroad starting in March 2015 !
