What is your role / current company?
Senior Account Manager / Ipsos
If you could give one piece of advice to other Young Pros, what would it be?
Embrace ambiguity. But sometimes, these are the moments to think creatively & outside the box. I think especially early on in their careers, people may feel a strong need for structure or clear cut answers.
But sometimes, these are the moments to think creatively & outside the box.
What is your proudest professional accomplishment?
Anytime a client reaches out and comes back interested in doing more research. It not only validates the work we do, but is a rewarding feeling to have cultivated a strong working relationship.
Has mentorship played a role in your career journey? Anyone you want to give a shoutout to? Include their name if you’re comfortable sharing!
Throughout my career there have been a few mentor figures I’ve been grateful to have: strong supporters opening up opportunities, people I draw inspiration from and in tough situations think, “what would they do?”–or a mix of both. I hope I can embody qualities from them and one day and play a similar role to someone else.
What’s your dream job? (If money was no object, what would you do?)
I would want to be a travel writer/blogger/artist. Travel around the world, write about new experiences, and create art inspired by by the sites that I visit.
