What do you enjoy most about being in the media and tech industry?
I work with so many different clients across the TV space. You'll hear big names like HBO Max, Netflix, Apple, Discovery, and Warner Brothers, Disney.
At one point, they've all been different companies, but being in this landscape, you kind of see them all transform and blend together. You see the icon become Paramount, or CBS.
So, being in this industry is always transforming. There's always a need. Luckily, I haven't been too impacted by a lot of the tech layoffs. So, there's some job stability there.
On the tech side, you get to see the machine or the magic that happens behind closed doors, how creatives and ads run in the background when you're watching something on your desktop, mobile, or any of those different Roku devices. I've certainly learned a lot of things I never knew before.
Those are just some of the little things. I also think it's pretty cool to see or meet the big folks in the industry. We do have a lot of events, unfortunately, they're all on the East Coast. So, just getting to be exposed to all that.
