Time Flies When You're Having Fun

...That’s for sure. I can’t believe it’s been a year since I started at Maroon PR.

You already know my reaction to finding out about the job, so needless to say I was excited. Little did I know, however, what an impact working for Maroon would have on me. In only one year, I have developed incredible relationships with my colleagues, been promoted to a role that I adore, met some amazing athletes and learned more about public relations and social media than I did in all my years of college.

Without a doubt, the people that I work with have become some of my closest friends. While in the office, they inspire me to be successful, make me laugh, and support and empower me on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis. Outside of the office, they are good to the jam and who I spend most of my time with.

After nine months as an Associate Account Executive, I was surprised and humbled when John promoted me to Manager of Social Media. In this role I have learned so many things about not only social media, but myself as a professional. I only hope to continue to grow from here.

As for the athletes, I have been so lucky to work for some incredibly giving and kind players. I am still starstruck when they call the office! I never thought I would see the day that our team meetings end with Cal Ripken coming to tour our new offices.

This year has truly flown by and every day has given me another reason to count my blessings. I could not have asked for a better place to come to work every day. Thank you to all who have been a part of my success. Cheers to many more years.
