One of my favorite childhood memories—and this may sound unusual—was attending the receptions my mom organized as a marketing director at a bank. I’d be right by her side, helping set out pamphlets, arranging tables, and chatting with her coworkers, all while still in elementary school. Those early experiences stuck with me and sparked my interest in pursuing a career in marketing. Since then, I’ve explored many facets of the field, from CRM and DTC to social and brand, each one reinforcing why I was drawn to marketing in the first place.
