New England Account ManagerStanley Doors
Career/field of interest:
Business
Hi everyone! I'm a former elementary school teacher and Ed school grad from the TIE program. My time at Harvard helped me transition out of the classroom and into the startup tech space in Austin, TX, but I have since relocated back to New England, where I grew up. I seem to regularly find myself nudged to the next stage in my career path by happenstance and therefore, have found myself working in a random group of industries including Education, Digital Retail Marketing, and now Automatic Doors. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about their career trajectories and the paths that other people have found themselves on. Professionally, I'm the NE Service Account Manager for Stanley Doors and my customers include literally any business/facility in New England with doors. Extracurricularly, I read anywhere from 30-50 novels per year and will plan a Disney trip whenever I can find people to go with me. I'm looking forward to meeting you all!
