How long have you worked at your company?
3 months
What are the rewards of your job?
I love strategically gathering information and displaying it in a unique way to sell the services Layton provides to our potential clients. My job requires agility and evolution, as our team is always looking for the newest and best way to meet our clients’ requests.
How long have you been an SMPS member?
Almost 5 years
What led you to serve on the Board?
When I first became a member, I was advised to help the current registration chair. After helping her through my first year, she suggested that I become the Registration Chair. The rest is history! (Thanks Linda!)
How has SMPS membership helped you?
I have greatly appreciated the mentorship I have found within SMPS. As someone who isn’t from this industry, I gained a better understanding through the many different events, both programs and education.
The networking opportunities have been wonderful! I have met so many incredible marketers and friends through SMPS. I have also seen great growth in my career thanks to the people I have met.
What’s the best career advice you’ve received?
I have worked really hard at becoming agile in the way I work. I had a leader in another position describe the difference between a dodo and a swallow. Dodos went extinct because they were slow to evolve, where swallows move quickly and easily and they have been able to survive. I have never forgotten that metaphor. Being agile helps me avoid complacency, and keeps me ever evolving, always seeking the latest and greatest.
What has contributed to your success?
I am a firm believer in the phrase: “Fake it till you make it!” As someone who came from another industry, this advice has helped me dive into the work and figure things out. If you can find confidence in the fact that you can and will learn as you go, you will figure it out and see success.
What’s on your bucket list?
I want to travel the world!
What was your childhood dream?
My childhood dream was and is to be a fashion designer. (I get to live that dream everyday with my “side hustle” of designing wedding dresses! :))
Guilty pleasure: what can you not live without?
I cannot live without Dr. Pepper and Netflix (streaming services).
