My journey to becoming a marketing consultant

An investment in education always pays the best interest – Benjamin Franklin

Lisa’s journey to becoming a marketing consultant began in college.

In her junior year she earned a coveted role on Florida Atlantic University’s Student Government Program Board and discovered what marketing is. It quickly became apparent that she had found her calling.

Along with a team of six other student Program Directors, she managed a budget of $250,000+ annually to develop a schedule of diverse entertainment and educational activities for the student body.  She learned the traditional marketing skills that would push her career forward and ultimately be the foundation for her work as a marketing consultant:
