- At News America Marketing, I started my career in merchandising. I was responsible for 18 store routes that included large retailers, grocery stores, and pharmacies.

- Before leaving Maryland in 2014, a position was created for me to assist the company as a territory lead. This required me to break down the shipment of cycle materials for all area reps in a small storage warehouse every four weeks.
