Ogilvy empowers me to…

try new things without fear. Ogilvy and the Associates Program have allowed me to dive into all different aspects of the marketing and communications space while also encouraging me to bring my personal interests and passions to the workplace. Ogilvy empowers me to ask questions and push the boundaries of my comfort zone knowing that I will always be given support and guidance.

What kinds of projects have you worked on thus far?

Since joining Ogilvy, I have been able to get exposure to a variety of different projects varying in scale. In addition to learning the foundational skills involved in managing client relationships, I've had the opportunity to work on a multimedia brand campaign, a TikTok campaign, strategic competitive audits, and even the launch of an immersive experience right as I joined the team!

What are you involved with outside of work?

Outside of work I am super passionate about travel and consistently make an effort to explore new places when I can. Coming from this love of travel, I also really enjoy documenting my life experiences through videography & photography. Beyond this, I am always binge-watching a tv series and really like reading or getting outdoors to exercise.

Where do you draw inspiration from?

I almost always draw inspiration from travel. After immersing myself and learning about different cultures, languages and history I can't help but feel excited and energized.
