Years before I understood what “marketing” meant, I was editing videos, designing logos, and selling branded apparel to friends. In favor of my natural interest, I committed to earning my BBA and studied Marketing at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. After graduating with four consecutive semesters on the Dean’s List, I dove into three years of hands-on marketing experience at Eau Claire Ford Lincoln Quick Lane. Most recently, I was the Marketing Manager at ToyVentive. At this point in my career, I’ve organically generated over 3 million views on YouTube, planned a major event for over 2,300 people, and brought six new products to life.
