Please share advice for young women considering or starting a career in print… Which includes design, sales, marketing, and all jobs within. 

If you want a career in an industry that:

• Is everchanging – always opportunities to learn. (After 21 years in the industry, I’m still learning!)

• Where technology and data are huge factors for success.

• Creativity is all around you from your clients, your peers, and asked of yourself.

• Opportunities abound – you can pick from a variety of positions that best suit what you’re passionate about – marketing, sales, project management, data/tech development, operations, finance – print offers it all.

• Allows you to work with well-known brands that you engage with every day and you get to help them achieve their marketing/sales objectives.

• Allows you to be a part of a team that collaborates across multiple groups – internally within your organization and externally with clients

• Is fast-paced and no week is like the other

•Allows you to create your own course – opportunities are endless!

How have mentors helped your personal and career development? 

Mentors have been key to my success over the years. Primarily their belief in me when I may not have had the same vision for myself as they saw within me. They pushed me to do more, take risks, get outside of my comfort zone – all of this built confidence in me.
