2017, M.A. Comparative Art & Letters

Product Community Manager. I work with people across the world to build the Adobe Analytics community.

After receiving my M.A. from BYU, I got my MBA at the University of South Carolina. Throughout COVID, I focused on building skills that would help me get a job that offered high pay, flexibility, and allowed me to continue to pursue interests outside of work.

The biggest skill I developed was probably critical thinking. I know a lot of people that are more analytical in their approach, but that can prove myopic. Critical thinking has helped me to see different sides to projects to actively avoid pitfalls that would otherwise have cost time and money to remedy.

Just go with it. I had a lot of anxiety and imposter syndrome due to being bombarded with new thoughts and concepts. Looking back, this was actually the time when I was learning things that would go on to shape a lot of who I am today, and I am very grateful for that.

I was a very poor student in Professor Colson's class on Ulysses, but I still read it every year and have gone to Bloomsday in Dublin multiple times.
