Describe your background.
I graduated from the University of Florida in 2012 with a BS in Telecommunications, a minor in Leadership, and a specialization in News. I’ve held several short-term positions (internships and volunteer work) for everything from a large-scale corporation to a small start-up. In February of 2013 I packed up, moved to New York City and accepted my first full time role as a Digital Sales Assistant at Rodale, Inc.
What made you decide to enter into advertising/marketing?
