Hello sojourn, thanks for your question.
The detail that concerns me most is that it appears you have one year of work experience. Ideally, you'd want to have at least 2-3 years under your belt. Am I missing something? Do you have work experience at a different company?
Otherwise, I'd wait a year or two to amass solid leadership experience to draw upon in your essays. Unless you are a truly exceptional candidate, I don't think it would behoove you to apply with just 1 year of experience.
I am happy to comment further with additional information
Best of luck,
Brian
