I started my career in the fashion world after attending FITM in Los Angeles, working as a buyer at boutiques, but the industry wasn't making ends meet financially. My brother suggested I work for AT&T temporarily, and 15 years later, I'm still in telecommunications. I began in a retail store at age 22, which taught me the front lines, and I believe as you grow, you should work those kinds of roles in companies. A few years later, I took over the Disney account at Disneyland, where I helped AT&T grow their professional account with Disney and my office was actually inside Disneyland. When it was time to move into a more professional business role, I started with Spectrum as a B2B account executive to get my feet wet in outside sales. After less than a year, I was recruited back to AT&T as a fiber account executive in Los Angeles, where I surpassed my goals and learned how sales can make you feel accomplished, especially when you hit a big deal and help customers have a great experience. About 2 years ago, I was recruited to Spectrum for their hospitality space as a strategic account specialist, working exclusively with hotels. In January, I mentioned to my boss that I wanted to become a major account executive, and when one position opened up, I WebExed the manager directly and said I'd love to speak with him. That conversation led to where I am now. I really feel like you just go for what you want to go for, and I've always just gone for it and figured out my next steps, which has helped me be successful as a seller and successful in life.
