lissak06 asked: I want to work where you work. The shows in your photos from this last week, I only do a small portion of it (domestically) in my current role but I love it. What did you study at university and did you ever think this would be your job? ~Curious candidate
hello! I love my job - when I was in the taxi going to the airport from the Messe I just kept thinking about how lucky I am. It is an industry I love, a company that is wonderful and a team that I adore. I went to Manhattanville College in Westchester NY and designed my own major of Political Communications and Broadcast Journalism, after school I worked in news pr then celebrity pr then as a tour manager then as a talent coordinator then I randomly ended up in brand marketing. After being unemployed for almost 2 years I ended up with an interview for this company through my old boss (and now friend) and got the job. My random employment history fit with what they needed and so I was hired! I think if you have the personality for it and love to travel and meet people - the trade show/hospitality industry can be incredible. Come to NYC when I return and we can chat!
