What is your role / current company?
Analytics Manager/Ipsos
If you could offer one piece of advice to other young professionals, what would it be?
Be willing to take risks and try something new. I recently made the transition from life sciences sales and marketing analytics to more general marketing analytics within a market research company. While it was a challenge to push myself out of my comfort zone and take a risk with trying a new career opportunity, I’ve enjoyed the new role so far. It’s been great learning more about new industries and innovative ideas within marketing and data science.
What has been your proudest professional achievement to date?
A couple years ago, I was tasked with leading a marketing data science project end to end for a client in the life sciences industry. When I inherited the project, we lacked trust with the client and the project resources and structure were disorganized. I brought in best practices from other successful projects I worked on which improved both client relations and the project structure and documentation. This helped us grow and secure future engagements with this client and gave me confidence that I could take on future leadership opportunities in my role.
How has mentorship played a role in your career journey?
I’ve been fortunate to have had several great mentors who have cared about my early career development. Each led by example and valued my perspective and contributions on problem solving and decision making. I’ve tried to emulate the strengths of each of my mentors when working on new challenges and mentoring more junior team members.
What’s your dream job? (If money was no object, what would you do?)
I would love to be a golf course panelist for a golf media outlet such as Golfweek or Golf Digest. It would be fun to play and rate different top golf courses around the world. As an avid golfer and a former college player, I’ve witnessed how rankings of top courses serve as an effective marketing campaign to help increase demand from golfers to play these courses. Consequently, I’ve seen how the influx of play has positively impacted the local economy of the communities where these courses are located.
