How has being an ARF YP member impacted your career?
I love connecting with other young professionals outside of my company. It’s all too easy to fall into a pattern of only exposing yourself to one point of view, and it is so valuable to have the opportunity to connect with others who have similar interests in the industry but can bring a different perspective to the table. The ARF YP is the perfect forum for this- the programming always highlights new ideas and encourages discussion on many topics.
When researching a topic you know nothing about, how do you get started?
I always look to leverage my network and see if I know someone who has a knowledge of the topic. I learn best by interacting with others and asking questions, and I’d much prefer a conversation to get my bearings on the topic than searching by myself.
What is your favorite show/program?
Mad Men is my absolute favorite TV show. I guess it makes sense why I enjoy working in advertising!
