EJ Blandford Resume

Clemson University May 2026

Bachelor of Science in Marketing GPA: 3.48

Minor in Brand Communications

DiDonato Property Management, LLC.

I had the opportunity to work as a marketing intern for DiDonato Property Management, LLC, where I assisted in the promotion of the company and its tenants through social media content, flyers, and event marketing. This experience exposed me to a different side of marketing—one more focused on a local business, rather than major brands, that needed hands-on support with the day-to-day aspects of marketing.

Communication Center—WATT Innovation Center

I currently serve as the Desk Manager at the Communication Center in the WATT Innovation Center on Clemson University’s campus. I have worked in this role for two years, where I greet students, distribute report forms, and manage important email communication between tutors and students.

Service-Oriented Roles—Restaurant Industry & Nannying

Restaurant Industry: I have worked in the restaurant industry from 2020 through the summer of 2025. I have worked at four different restaurants, where I started off as a hostess then became a server. The most recent restaurant where I was a server was Federal House Bar & Grille in Downtown Annapolis, MD. Over the course of these five years, I developed greater patience, time-management skills, and enhanced my ability to provide efficient, customer-focused service.

Nanny: I provided dependable, attentive care to two young boys over the summer of 2025. This experience allowed me to practice my patience, manage schedules, all while maintaining strong communication with their mother. I was able to handle problem-solving in real-time and created a positive, safe atmosphere—strengthening my skills in multitasking and responsibility.
