Meet Alum Jena Rascoe ’08, Marketing Manager at RSM US LLP<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Name:\u00a0Jena Rascoe<\/p>\n

Class Year:\u00a02008<\/p>\n

Title:\u00a0Marketing Manager<\/p>\n

Organization Name:\u00a0RSM US LLP<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In one sentence, what does your job entail?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m responsible for marketing RSM\u2019s tax, audit, and consulting services in Connecticut and Westchester County, NY \u2013 which includes managing speaking roles, events, sponsorships, advertising, communications and promoting thought leadership to our network.<\/p>\n

What were you involved in when you were on campus?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was a Relationship Peer Educator, which was part of the counseling center. We organized student programs that provided information and support around adjusting to new social situations, navigating difficult dynamics between peers, and adjusting to life on campus after being abroad. I was also a tutor for a 7th<\/sup> grader at the Nativity School in Worcester. I\u2019ve always been interested in community involvement that\u2019s geared towards education or emotional support.<\/p>\n

What was your major and how did it affect your career decisions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was an English major, so I did a LOT of writing. I knew I wanted to leverage those writing skills in whatever career path I chose, so I started out on the editorial side of publishing. That morphed into writing and editing marketing materials\u2026 and I found I enjoyed being part of a marketing team. While being an English major did solidify my passion for communications, it also taught me to be open to different types of roles and industries \u2013 as long as I could use that part of my brain. That openness has proven to be useful in today\u2019s job market.<\/p>\n

What are one or two skills that you developed at Holy Cross that you use in your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

1: A comfort level with asking questions. Intellectual curiosity \u2013 and seeking to understand the goals and reasons behind <\/em>the work \u2013 is key to being successful a strategic marketer. HC gives you an environment to hone that skill, and I use it literally every day.<\/p>\n

2: Developing high quality writing skills and an eye for detail. That\u2019s important whether I\u2019m writing a marketing plan, pulling a presentation together, or even writing a simple email. Many people in today\u2019s environment are moving too fast to pay close attention to detail, so when you produce a high quality piece, it stands out.<\/p>\n

What advice do you have for students on campus today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have confidence in the fact that your HC education is practical and can be applied to a variety of careers and roles. One of the great things about learning so broadly is that you\u2019re prepared to try new things as you go through the learning \u201cprocess.\u201d Rely on the work ethic and critical thinking from HC to get you through the periods of uncertainty as you\u2019re deciding your next step\u2026 it always leads you in the right direction!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
