Where did you go to school?
University of Oklahoma, BA in Journalism and Mass Communications
Describe the type of work you do:
I spend a lot of time writing, designing, and strategizing ways to communicate my company’s brand through content and digital marketing.
What led you to a career in technology:
Before I joined Pinnacle Business Systems, I lived and worked in Cleveland, Ohio, at Case Western Reserve University’s business school. This position put me right at the intersection of technology and marketing. I worked directly with the business school’s IT director and her team. We collaborated on projects all the time and I learned so much from working in this type of environment. My experience working with her team made me more comfortable taking a job at a technology company.
