Finding, driving, and closing business through strong customer relationships and sales skills.
2. What planned and unplanned events connected you to your industry and your first employer after Holy Cross? How did you learn/decide it was a good fit for you?
I did a year of service after graduating through AmeriCorps. It was an amazing experience that helped me further discern my 5-10 year plan, allowing me to make a move to Austin, TX and start a brand new chapter in my life, switching careers drastically. I needed that year to truly discover how I wanted my life to go post Holy Cross and learn more about myself and the impact I want to make towards others.
3. What were you involved in when you were on campus?
Gateways Orientation, Spring Break Immersion Program, Student Government Association, Sales Club,
4. What was your major and how did it affect your career decisions?
I majored it Sociology which allowed me to truly take any path that I wanted. There was a time when I thought my Sociology major may have limited me, but coming from Holy Cross, it was a major that gave me so many different options and paths, and I chose to go down a few different ones before landing where I am today. It provided me with so much flexibility in my career, you can truly major in anything at Holy Cross and you will have more paths than you think, you just have to be open minded.
5. What are one or two skills that you developed at Holy Cross that you use in your work?
Leadership!!
6. What advice do you have for students on campus today?
Be open minded and try everything. Don’t waste a single opportunity to try something new, do a unique experience, and step out of your comfort zone.
