What do you enjoy most about your position at Spark451 and why?
I love that digital is always changing, evolving, and never staying stagnant. It allows me to keep learning and always have a finger on the pulse of what's going on in the digital world.
How did you choose your profession/why?
Working in admissions and advising during college as an intern set me up to explore the world of higher ed, and eventually, take a job as an admissions counselor as my first job out of college. The rest is history! Three universities and experiences in undergrad and grad, spanning coast to coast, all led me to my position at Spark!
What is one super power you'd want to possess and why?
Time travel! I would love to visit the past AND the future and just be an observer and get to know ALL THE THINGS!
Beach vacation or city vacation and why?
I'm all for the cultural immersion vacation, exploring another culture, people, and all the things that you find when you step out of your normal everyday life.
