Undergraduate Degree in Communication Arts

I wouldn't be where I am today without the opportunities Marywood afforded me.

In the past, I've reflected on my time at Marywood and realized that the ability to simply get involved and be creative was a crucial point in my life.  I wouldn't be where I am today without the opportunities it afforded me to get involved and be myself.

Today, I am lucky enough to work in New York City as New York University's Social Media and Mobile Product Coordinator.  It's a position I hardly envisioned being in after I took a few years to explore multiple opportunities ranging from sports journalism to government.  When I eventually settled into the marketing, social media, and training career path I had determined it was the right choice.

Working in social media is a challenging field.  It's always changing - always moving.  It's not something one just "does" contrary to the belief of many ill-informed "experts".  From building strategy, developing content standards and guides, to successfully delivering engaging campaigns that excite your audience, it's a field that offers a new challenge every day. 

...and I love every minute of it.
