Most meaningful/career-defining moment: My latest job this summer really helped me see how much I want to do Marketing. I worked as a Home Services Specialist (loan processor) at Bank of America. This gave me an inside experience of what it’s like inside corporate America and really let’s you know how BOA functions as a company. Each day I was intrigued by reading the intranet’s interviews of top management at the bank (including Barbara Dosoer, CEO Ken Lewis, and Chief Marketing Officer Anne Finucane) and learning what they go through to keep the company running. I also used this opportunity to connect with a Brand Manager (Ben Meaney) who gave me an even greater perspective on what he does day-to-day which is very much what I want to do as well. Overall it was a wonderful time.
