Why did you recently get promoted to senior account executive?
“I worked both in higher education and as a subcontractor, so I had experience with nonprofits but also small businesses, in helping them sometimes create and establish their marketing strategies. When this opportunity became available, I thought it would be a great next step to larger organizations and bring some of my consumer-based marketing skills to the table.”
What is your next career goal?
“To continue to build upon my knowledge and experience in all areas of marketing and communication. I have a lot of experience in the creative side, but I’m looking to further build my portfolio in communications and media relations and brand management.”
What do you like to do in your free time?
“In my free time, I like to spend time with my family, my kids, and we also really love to go Up North to Hayward. I have two kids, a four-month-old and a two-and-a-half-year-old. We love the outdoors, fishing and enjoying Up North life.”
