Mission: As a marketer and business professional, I consistently strive to meet new challenges, thirst for knowledge, improve upon and learn new skills, and expand my educational tool box.
Did you choose your career path or did it choose you? Sure, many of us encounter scores "jobs" during our lifetime, but few revel in a passionate career. Where are you now?
As an undergraduate student, my perceived life pursuit was focused upon criminal justice---I aspired to be an attorney. It is ever-more interesting during the pursuit of life, that you have so perfectly planned for yourself and then the mere result of "real life" meets you within the most unforeseen moment. You remember, that moment, similarly to where you were and what you were doing at the time of a historical event for the rest of your years.
While in a business law class, I realized that I not only enjoyed the law but the interpretations of the law. It was the research and discovery components that caught my attention. However, when I encountered the research aspects of marketing, I was truly sold. The statistical computation and expected results combined with the report writing was truly intriguing. I enjoy writing from a business perspective, but also respect it as a form of art.
From that point forward, I knew that my "planned" career was no longer valid, which was hard to digest. In 2010 I completed an MBA degree with an emphasis in Marketing to acquire an in-depth business education coupled with international components. To this day, I am intrigued by the elements of the research process, the depth of the objectives, new discoveries, coupled with the conclusions.
As my words continue to fill the crisp white pages of notebooks and legal size business pads, I owe my profound passion to those who continue to search for their purpose.
