What made you join Ad 2 San Diego?

After graduation, I was trying to choose the best organization for young marketing professionals and I’ve heard from a couple of people about Ad 2 SD. They had a members only event 4 months ago and I decided to be a member that day just to check out their event!

Meeting smart people who understand marketing and advertising. Oh and the fun events!

Dreaming of Maui nowadays and can’t wait do the crazy ride to Hana one more time – taking very long breaks at the waterfalls and rain forests on the way.

Never stop learning. Keep up with the trends. Try to learn at least one thing each day about your speciality. Read an article, watch a video or attend a webinar.
