In the little time I’ve been here, 20North has made a profound impact on my professional development. I’ve developed new skill sets, leadership responsibilities, expanded my professional network with these people. One example in particular we’re doing right now is each member of the team is presenting on different facets of digital media, so that we are constantly learning and evolving.

In what ways do you feel like you’ve grown since working for 20North?
I definitely have learned so many invaluable personal and life skills since beginning here at 20North. I’ve grown both professionally and personally – growing mentally by learning so much and socially by interacting with clients daily, both of which have helped me on a personal level, too.
What do you wish you had known about the professional world when you were a student?
You can only learn so much in school about what the professional world will really be like. You won’t fully know what it is like, until you’re in it day-in and day-out! Most importantly, I wish I hadn’t thought negatively about graduating college and leaving friends, as the professional world has already been such a fun and life-shaping experience for me.
In thinking about emerging young professionals, what advice would you share to those seeking their first opportunities?
The advice I would give would be to go after what you’re passionate about, even if it’s not the most traditional path. As for interviewing for your first job, prepare, prepare and then prepare some more! Research the company, their core values, and their clients! Make sure you truly feel that you’d fit in with the team and management at the company. You don’t want to be surrounded by people every day that don’t support you or can’t make you laugh.
