Her Story
About Celina
I started in social media at a full-service advertising agency as team lead for their social media team, then moved to Fox Motorsports as their social media strategist. After about 6 years in the industry I left corporate America to start my own agency, The Social Lab, in Birmingham, Alabama. We are a team of three including an editor and videographer, and we focus on making professional social media services attainable for small business owners who otherwise couldn't afford rates of $5,000 to $20,000 a month.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Celina
01What do you attribute your success to?
I have this motto in my life that I just try to be better than the person I was yesterday. My motivation comes from wanting to be someone that my past self never thought I would be, coming from a pretty broken family. I also think about my future self and all the roles I want to fulfill as a mom, wife, business owner and employer, which motivates me to work hard now and prepare myself every day.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Be a sponge and absorb everything in the environments around you. Make as many positive connections as possible. Be very careful about who you surround yourself with and the environments you place yourself in. Have great discernment and learn as much as you can from positive people and environments. Make a good first impression on everybody and be kind to everyone.
