Read my references, let the people I’ve worked with speak to my character, work ethic, and skill set.

As Marketing Coordinator for Modern Luxury Media in Chicago, Sara had a great deal of responsibilities and was instrumental to the team during her time in the position. A few examples include her collaborating cross-functionally and directly with clients to oversee the completion of marketing pages within the magazines on tight deadlines, managing and delegating to a team of interns and their projects while balancing her own, and creating and posting content on the backend of website platforms and social media accounts for 5 Modern Luxury brands in the Chicago market.

Sara played a key role in each step of experiential marketing programs including pre-event strategy and promotions, on-site execution and content gathering, and post-event coverage and wrap up reports. The diversity and vast scale of her projects proved her detail-oriented nature, her ability to think creatively as well as analytically, and to complete projects independently. Sara never left a task undone, and always had a positive attitude and professional demeanor in the workplace. She is a passionate employee, eager to continue learning, and motivated to be successful

As the Director of Marketing at Modern Luxury Chicago, the premier luxury lifestyle publisher in The Midwest, I first met Sara as an intern in our marketing department. After her internship and graduation, we offered her a full-time position on the marketing team.

Sara’s drive, dedication and resilience is unmatched. She drove right into reorganizing our social media strategy and implementation. Her sharp writing skills and knowledge of creating digital assets is one of her top skills. She executes with a creative but focused approach and consistently demands the best of herself. We also worked very closely on numerous events-- Sara assisted with event staff scheduling and management, social media and onsite logistics-- all with the most positive and upbeat attitude!

Sara has proven herself to the Modern Luxury team, partners and our clients as a skilled and talented young business professional. I proudly recommend without reservation to any company looking for a dedicated, talented and spirited addition to their team!

Sara was an exemplary supervisor during my internship with Modern Luxury this academic year. Her eagerness to contribute ideas with both company leaders and interns and willingness to take initiative to take on additional department responsibility is evidence of Sara’s leadership. From coordinating CS Magazine’s 25th Anniversary party at TAO or Men’s Book Magazine’s launch event at Tavern on Rush, Sara delegated tasks to interns efficiently and maintained the momentum of the marketing team.

My internship experience was informative, memorable, and a highlight of my collegiate career largely in part because of Sara Silvestri’s impact. I sincerely enjoyed working under Sara and her department; I recommend her for all leadership opportunities in event planning, marketing, and public relations industries.
