Could you walk me through your career path, starting with your experiences in college? Did you have any internships or jobs before your current role?
I currently work in marketing analytics for a marketing tech company. Prior to that, I was in the military.
I was active in the Navy for just under 11 years and have been a reservist for the last three years. Before my current role, I attended the Naval Academy for undergrad.
While I didn't do traditional internships, I spent my summers exploring career options. Ultimately, I chose aviation, went to flight school, and became a helicopter pilot.
Over the next 11 years, I held several aviation-related roles. This included flying, training and certifying personnel for flight operations on ships, and serving as a liaison officer with the Marine Corps.
Now, as a reservist, I work in a similar liaison role, collaborating with the Air Force and helping to write larger-level flight schedules.
