I love AEF’s commitment to ensuring our industry’s future leaders represent the diversity of our communities.
So many new career paths are opening in our industry that allow new and emerging leaders to marry multiple passions. Whether it’s a love of technology and creative concepting, or a knack for social media coupled with the competitive energy of sales, today’s marketing and advertising professionals can enjoy careers that span a multitude of disciplines that are valuable in the marketplace.
Be open to opportunities outside your comfort zone.
As a graduate of an HBCU, I know first-hand the amazing talent and ingenuity found among diverse communities. When it’s coupled with opportunity and mentorship, future leaders rise up to make a profound impact inside companies, and in their community. As a senior leader, I consider it a responsibility and a privilege to open doors for this next generation.
My favorite part of my job is working with my incredibly talented and diverse team to lead American Heart into it’s second century of powerful mission impact.
A commitment to being a forever learner.
Be curious, open, and unafraid to try new things. Who you are right now is ENOUGH to make a difference. The world needs your unique genius.
