"by chance I fell into an internship with Allied Global Marketing"

"I like to think of myself as sort of this funnel that other departments come to, to communicate with the target audience."

"I don't think one day looks like the next."

"Being empathetic is a big one...you have to really understand who am I talking to? What do they care about?"

"Marketing to me is kinda that perfect intersection between creativity and being analytical. I feel like I get a good balance of exercising both sides of my brain."

"You start to learn what you need to prove your points."

"it is sort of like you are the funnel. You are the company's voice. You are what the market is engaging with."

"Being self-aware is imperative. You need to know when you don't know something, but also be aware of trends, whether they're social or email or in your specific industry."

"there's a lot of needs that come up, um, from different departments and you just kinda have to stop and, you know, take on what the new priority is."

"I would say that, you know, brand marketing manager is a Swiss Army knife. It, it's more of a generalist role."

"I'm learning every day and I'm growing every day. And it's also not too late to learn new things or to kind of pivot even within your role."

"Joining clubs and being involved in things is a really low risk, but insightful way of starting to get a grasp of what this looks like."
