I’ll admit that managing social media accounts professionally (which I genuinely love!) has unintentionally raised the threshold for posting on my personal accounts. Sharing things with friends and colleagues in private usually feels like enough these days. So, when I do feel compelled to make a public post, I know that’s my brain’s way of saying, “This mattered. Pay attention.” This week, that “pay attention” moment came from attending my first professional marketing conference: the 2025 AMA (American Marketing Association) Symposium for the Marketing of Higher Education. What began as a fun trip to Maryland with an empty notebook in my hand turned into one of the most validating and energizing weeks I’ve had in my career so far. Being surrounded by thousands of marketers—many of them decades into this work—did more than spark ideas (though there were plenty). It gave me an entirely new feeling: I don’t know if I’ve ever experienced that much admiration for so many people (strangers, even) all at once. The sheer talent and passion for meaningful marketing was palpable in every room. I’m deeply grateful that opportunities like this exist for people still early in their careers—like me. And I’m proud to work for an organization that invests so intentionally in professional growth. I’m excited now, not just to uplevel my work, but for the connections I’ve made with new colleagues and the reassurance that marketing is truly the right line of work for me. 😊 And a special thanks to the best team ever!
