I studied material science, particularly semiconductors, in college. When I first came up to the Bay Area right out of school, I started working in adtech despite having no creative background or knowledge about digital advertising. Most of my skills at the time, notably working with data, translated pretty well and rapidly learning on the job (plus on my own time) helped me become savvy with product & growth marketing.

What's really been fun has been taking that experience and expertise to help the friends I've made in the local entertainment industry!

Thanks for your response! I am glad you were able to find your area of expertise in product & growth marketing and also applying those skill sets in other industries as well. Product Marketing is something i've been learning at work and it definitely inspired me to pursue a marketing career in the fintech industry.
