Erik Simon

Assistant Media Planner at Horizon Media

New York, New York

I am a graduate of Syracuse University with a public relations degree from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. I am a highly motivated worker with a passion to help out whoever is around me. I love working with people, and truly believe that "team work makes the dream work." My interests include sports, social media, volunteering and traveling to new parts of the world. I pride myself on being heavily involved within the communities that I work and live in. Looking for relevant work opportunities in marketing, public relations and digital media.

My passion for travel and helping others brought me all the way to Madrid, Spain for the 2019-2020 school year. I was an English language and cultural assistant, working Monday-Thursday in a Spanish primary school. Although my experience was cut short due to COVID-19, teaching in a foreign country with a different language helped shape me into the persistent, determined and flexible worker I am today.
