My first full-time job was in commissioned sales. It wasn’t exactly what I thought my future career would be while I was a Spanish major in college. As it turns out, however, sales has a lot of the same appeal as the work I imagined I’d be doing while I was studying Spanish. I got to meet people from all walks of life and find out about their stories. I also got to use my language skills.

After a three-year career in higher education, I now find myself back in the field of sales. I am currently employed as a business development coordinator in the automotive industry. It combines a lot of my strengths. I secure new business opportunities; coordinate promotional activities; and maintain effective relationships with customers. Most notably, however, I get to explore my first academic love: writing. In my role, I write and distribute agendas, proposals, and briefing documents. Apart from my vocational responsibilities, I also get to investigate writing as an MA candidate in Technical & Professional Writing. Take a look at some of my school projects here, in my “newsletter.”
