After graduating college from the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse with a Marketing degree and a Psychology minor, I moved up the ranks quickly in the management realm at Enterprise. When I decided I loved working with people and high pressure sales was not for me, I moved on. With a few other jobs sprinkled in, I found that Account Management is what best suits me. I get to work with clients all day, building relationships, while being their business partner. What struck me the most about Magellan Promotions was that I get to meld the best of both worlds; working with clients and being creative, for me that is a win-win!
When I was in college I had an internship with a screen printing company and I absolutely loved it! We would collaborate on taglines and what types of gadgets we could print their business name on, it was an awesome experience. Little did I know that over a decade later I would take a job with a promo merch company. I was over the moon to say the least. I get to relive some of my most fond college memories and create promotional items for colleges and other target audiences; I could not be more excited to be a part of this team!
Growing up as an only child has really pushed me to be an extrovert; a complete people person, I will quite literally strike up a conversation with anyone. This coupled with working at a store my grandparents owned in the town I grew up in has paved the way for my success in Management, Customer Service, Sales, and Account Management. I have found that you can train people, but you can’t train personality.
