Could you walk me through your career path, starting with your experiences in college and any internships or jobs you had before your current role?
Yes, I had a seemingly untraditional career path before my current role. I worked my way through school, so it took me a really long time to graduate college—eight years, a long time.
I actually managed a restaurant before my current role, which is completely different from tech sales that I'm in now. But that's really what it was: just working in hospitality, and then applying to tech and going from there.
