1. In one sentence, what does your job entail?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I help female service-based business owners create consistent digital brands (website, social media, and other digital media) that increase sales, grow brand awareness and generate more traffic to their site\/store.<\/p>\n

\n

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?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I graduated from Holy Cross I thought I wanted to go to law school, so I spent a year working as a corporate paralegal in a large NYC firm. I quickly decided that wasn\u2019t for me and moved out to San Diego where I worked in biopharma for a few years. After working in business development there, I took a job as a pharmaceutical sales representative at Pfizer. When I had my first son, I left that job to be at home and it was the genesis of my current career. Even though I was at home, I missed the connection to coworkers and the intellectual stimulation. I decided to start a blog and social media and make a job out of it! Later on I was able to utilize my newly acquired skill set to build my own digital branding agency.<\/p>\n

\n

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

I was a member of the Purple Key Society, participated in SPUD activities, was an alumni interviewer and tutor in the Writer\u2019s Workshop.<\/p>\n

\n

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

I started off as a pre-med major, but after a year and a half, I transitioned to a Spanish major with a concentration in Latin American Studies.<\/p>\n

\n

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

Critical thinking and excellent verbal and written communication skills.<\/p>\n

\n

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

Soak up every minute of your college experience because it goes by fast! Also, don\u2019t be afraid of trying new things and taking a while to figure out what you really want to do in your life. It\u2019s a journey, so have fun along the way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
