Name: Yeonjin Chloe You
DOB: 1999.09.17
Nationality: Seoul, Korea
M.A Communications, Culture & Technology ’26
I am a first-year student in Georgetown University’s Communication, Culture, and Technology Master’s program. Communication, Culture, and Technology is an interdisciplinary major, and I thought I could learn various practical skills related to communication, marketing, and data science before I deepened my professional career. By combining the knowledge, I achieved from my bachelor's degree in psychology, with the knowledge achieved from this current master's degree, I expect to sharpen my data analysis skills, specializing, in the marketing and communication field. I am also interested in managing social media, and the relationship between marketing, communication, and technology. After pursuing this degree, I hope I can be a communication expert, who is also richly educated in marketing, global culture, data science, and technology.
In my free time, I enjoy visiting restaurants, galleries, and aesthetic places with my friends to take photos and post them on my personal social media. I really enjoy observing social media platforms to find the newest trends.​​​ I believe social media is one of the strongest channels that can attract audiences and make them to really listen what we say.

As I have attended schools in various countries like Korea, Canada, and the United States, I could transform into an individual with a global perspective and multicultural thinking. Also, I have studied how individuals develop psychologically and physically during my undergraduate school by examining in-depth research studies, which was a great opportunity for me to understand the origin of individuals' thoughts and feelings. I am a person who is academically interested in how individuals think, behave, and interact; and I thought my psychological background would be a great framework to work in the marketing field - as marketing is also an area that needs a certain degree of knowledge in individuals to attract the public to their product.
Developing one step further from my interest in psychology, I recently started another academic journey to study in the Communication, Culture, and Technology program at Georgetown University. I thought studying interdisciplinary subjects in communication, culture, and technology is important and worthwhile as the combined insights from these three areas may help to foster innovative marketing strategies as a marketer who can adapt to fast-changing environments and consumer needs- especially in the era of surging AI. I also thought studying in the CCT program would set a great pivot for me to go to a corporation that I want to go to.
To sum up, I am interested in studying theories and skills in the CCT area that will help me to become a bridge to connect companies to numerous countries- bringing companies’ advantages in various countries to another. Therefore, during this program, I am planning to not only earn skills that are directly related to marketing but also earn skills in data analytics, critical thinking, digital literacy, information security, and communication. I am excited to learn interdisciplinary insights in CCT get into a corporation and show my ability after earning this degree.

My Strengths
Individualization:
Definitions
People with strong Individualization strength understand and are intrigued by others' unique traits. They tend not make generalizations, and focus on the differences between people.
Applications
I tend to not categorize or generalize anyone or anything and try to see them in their own way without any prejudice; Thus, I am good at grasping Individuals' traits.
Empathy:
People with a strong empathy has a strength to sense the emotions of those around them. They can easily read what others are feeling.
As I can sense what others feel, I tend to quickly grasp what individuals want or want to be heard within the conversation. This strength often helps me to form a good relationship with others.
Relator:
Relator individuals can describe a person's attitude toward their relationships. People with strong relator talents do not necessarily shy away from meeting new people, but they are better at forming an intimate relationships with people, rather than a superficial relationship.
As I am good at finding each individual's traits, I am good at forming a strong intimate bond with individuals. My friends tend to find me when they need some advice about their life.
Strategic:
People with strong strategic talents possess an innate ability to navigate complexity and identify the best path forward, as they an recognize patterns that others might overlook.
I always strategically plan what I want to achieve in the institute I am an affiliate of and what I want to accomplish in the next five years. Including personal growth and my career, I always tend to pay attention to the search for what skills or areas I should develop further.
Context:
Individuals with strong Context talents rely on historical perspective to inform their decisions, often feeling disoriented without it.
When I do a project, I tend to closely observe past projects to identify the most successful strategies and common pitfalls.
My Avatar
I made a miniature wardrobe filled with clothes to represent my keyword, Branding. Branding refers to the process of creating a unique identity for a product, service, individual, or company. Branding consists of elements’ developments such as name, design, logo, messaging, impression, and overall customer experience that distinguish it from competitors. I personally thought fashion and clothes are something that an individual normally uses daily to express one’s identity, and a wardrobe- filled with our clothes- represents one’s identity and tastes well. Furthermore, a wardrobe is an object that we stand in front of every day to choose our outfit- wondering which part of our identity I would like to express more for the day; Thus, I thought a wardrobe would be a perfect avatar to represent myself, my interest, and my keyword- Branding.
My Avatar expresses my unique traits, and creative strength, while a couple of spaces of a wardrobe filled with wrinkled clothes represent part of myself that I sometimes tend to be disorganized.
​
Update of my avatar, after finishing a semester of the CCT program at Georgetown University:
​
After finishing the first semester of the CCT program at Georgetown University, I recognize myself as having a richer experience and a wider perspective on my career plan. I used to think that I was only interested in marketing communication of a corporation related to the beauty and cosmetic field. However, now, I am trying to research technology to open another possibility of working in the marketing communication field in tech-related corporates. In addition to my wider career planning perspective, I think I have a clearer idea of what I want to research and learn skills during these two years of my master's degree. For example, I am interested in earning analytical skills related to marketing and communication fields in addition to branding- which was the only part of marketing that I thought I wanted to continue for research. Thus, I want to make more miniature clothes and fill in the wardrobe to interpret this transformation of my thoughts on my current academic journey on my avatar.
