Hey LinkedIn Family,
After two fulfilling months of running a mentoring program where I had the joy of helping clients land their dream roles, I’ve embraced a new adventure that I couldn’t pass up. I’m thrilled to share that I've joined Marmon Group as their College Relations Specialist, leading the charge in supporting early career talent.
Transitioning from well-known giants like Facebook, PepsiCo, Accenture, and Unilever, the difference in leadership at Marmon has been pivotal. Just six weeks into my role, I already feel happier, healthier, and genuinely excited to give my best each morning. This shift is all thanks to the empowering management style of my leaders, Becky Tinkham and Eugene Edw. Curtain III, who truly see my potential and encourage me to harness it fully.
At Marmon, more than any other place I’ve been, I feel seen and valued, not just as an employee but as a person. Being the sole lead for our robust campus program presents its challenges, especially as I transition from working within larger teams. However, trusting my instincts—honed over a decade—and having leaders who believe in my capabilities has allowed me to start doing some of the most fulfilling work I’ve ever done.
This experience has reinforced a vital lesson—often times, the fit with your manager and the company culture is just as important as the role itself. For those feeling stifled or unseen, remember it’s okay to seek a change where your values and style align better with those of your leaders.
I want to thank everyone who has supported me through the years. Finding a place like Marmon, where the culture resonates with my personal values, makes all the difference. It’s not just about the name or the prestige of the company but about the people within and a culture that allows you to thrive.
Looking forward to sharing more about our Marmon Summer Intern journey this summer. Here’s to new beginnings and making a visible impact! 🥂✨
