Summary
In Fall 2025, I had the great opportunity to co-op at Messer Construction, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. I joined Messer's Pursuit Marketing team as a Graphic Designer and in my role I was engaged in collaborating on Marketing proposals for Messer's many new construction projects. I also collaborated with various teams across Messer's 12 regions such as: Construction Safety, Virtual Design Construction, Operations, Accounting, Business Development, and many more. Messer's wide network of highly talented individuals made my experience at Messer so unique and I am grateful that I got to be a part of such an amazing team.

Key Takeaways
Designers are more than just creatives, we often wear multiple hats across disciplines. This versatility allows us to gain diverse experiences that directly inform and enhance our careers, making us adaptable and valuable contributors in any professional setting.
Professionalism and clear communication are essential in a fast-paced corporate environment, especially in marketing. Approaching new tasks with confidence and transparency not only drives efficiency but also builds trust and adaptability, which are invaluable traits in this dynamic field.
Networking is essential in the marketing industry, and the ability to communicate effectively across global audiences adds significant value. Engaging in international dialogue not only broadens perspective but also strengthens professional relationships and market reach.
Integrity is a foundational trait in the workplace, it fosters trust, strengthens professionalism, and aligns personal values with the company’s best interests. By consistently demonstrating integrity, I contribute to a collaborative and credible environment that enhances my reputation and encourages others to build upon it.
Co-op Highlights
A special thank you to my mentor, the conference planning team, global professionals, and everyone who supported me during my time with Hamilton. Your guidance and collaboration made a lasting impact and contributed to the invaluable experiences I gained throughout the co-op.
