In 2007, as I was beginning my professional career, I focused on the advice my parents gave me – it isn’t always about what you know, it’s also about who you know. Life takes a village and developing the relationships to keep people in your corner will always prove to be a valuable asset. Luckily, I had surrounded myself with people who were invested in me and my success. Starting on my journey of finding my first career job, a dear friend set me up with a recruiter who had a position available at a firm that many young professionals were trying to get into. I landed the job. That one introduction jump-started my career and steered me onto a path in marketing that was meant for me. In my role as a marketing assistant at Dividend Capital, I was immediately acclimated to the truth that marketing and sales work together towards one goal – to help the firm succeed.
