NICOLE FRIESEMA
ADVERTISING + PSYCHOLOGY student
My name is Nicole Friesema and I am an Iowa State Cyclone fan, caffeine addict, doodle extraordinaire, problem solving wizard and honorary member of Chocoholics Anonymous.
Originally from the Chicago 'burbs, I currently reside in Ames, Iowa as a senior at Iowa State University. Through my education, I have developed a strong interest in consumer behavior. I am looking for an oppotunity to explore how the brain influences consumers' decisions and how to more effectively appeal to target markets.
