AT A GLANCE "I'm someone who loves to make new connections and meet new people. Through MassMEP you're constantly connected with people across the state and that's something that really draws me in. " Before working as a marketing coordinator with MassMEP, I was a full-time student-athlete at Assumption University. My undergraduate degree is in management, and I continued my education pursuing my MBA while assistant coaching for the Women's Soccer Program which I played four years on. During my last semester of schooling, Kristy Grignon reached out to me and told me about the opportunity to join the MassMEP team. Prior to this, I didn't know much about the company or the manufacturing industry as a whole. Once I was able to meet the team and learn about the tremendous impact they have had on this industry, I knew this would be a job I'd enjoy and the people I want to surround myself with. My current role with MassMEP is Marketing Coordinator where my main priorities are managing our social media platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube), managing and planning events, and managing MACWIC testing. My favorite part of the job is that not only do I get to work as part of a team in the Marketing department, but I also get to interact with people outside the company. That was really important to me when I was looking for a job. I'm someone who loves to make new connections and meet new people. Through MassMEP you're constantly connected with people across the state and that's something that really draws me in. That's a passion of mine – to keep making new connections and to have an impact on those that I do cross paths with.
