Could you walk me through your career path? Please start with your experiences in college, any internships, or jobs you've had before your current role.
In college, I worked in food and beverage for extra income. I started at Outback Steakhouse. After college, I looked for a Monday-to-Friday, nine-to-five job.
That's how I found a position at the Post and Courier newspaper. I worked there for about three years as an administrative assistant. Sales representatives would sell newspaper ads and then tell me about them. I would then place those ads in the newspaper.
It was a good way to get my foot in the door in the corporate world. After that role, I wanted to try something different and get into the tech space. I had always heard about tech and the many opportunities available.
I then worked at a company called BoomTown, a software company for real estate agents. At that time, I was doing implementation. When a real estate agent joined, I would set them up in our software system and be their main point of contact to ensure they had their real estate CRM in place. CRM stands for customer relationship management.
After that role, I stayed in tech and moved to Chart Hop, a tech company that helps HR companies with org charts. I was an onboarding specialist there, serving as the main point of contact for new customers and guiding them through the onboarding experience with Chart Hop.
My current role is at Habitual, still in the technology space. It's a wellness company that helps manage chronic disease. I've shifted from implementation and onboarding to sales. My main role is to find new business and sell them on Habitual so they can provide services using our company.
