"I didn't actually get into marketing in the industry until after college."

"You're pretty much on your own...doing a lot of different things."

"The role of the marketer is to leverage that tool in order to have a better product overall."

"Be curious and not judgmental."

"I can work from home, I can work from a coffee shop, I could work from Hawaii on the beach."

"Understanding your own limits is probably the biggest challenge I faced, especially starting out."

"It's always interesting. It's never boring at all."

"Lots of hard work, um, and being Optim, always optimizing your own way of working."

"There's going to be times where... you're in a meeting and they're asking you the questions and you just don't know."

"Always be searching for internships, don't necessarily do what I did and wait until after college to get an internship."

"Today's frustration in sweat is tomorrow's gold."

"Joining a group of individuals that's, you know, a professional group... that made everything way easier."

"They really allowed me to understand my options where I wanted to be in the world. Um, and especially where I wanted to be in marketing."
