Since graduating from Syracuse University with a bachelor's in Marketing Management, my journey has included stints as an intern at technology-enabled automotive companies (Silvercar, Lyft) as well as branch-offs into sugarcane farming and international warehouse logistics in my hometown in the Virgin Islands during the early days of COVID-19.More recently, I've found my footing on the early team of a caring, exciting, brilliant (I'm unbiased, I swear) startup called SigBee. We're reimagining how organizations that care check in with the people that do important work for them with a focus on employee satisfaction, retention, and job fulfillment- with more to come. It's a concept that's all the more important during a period we're calling the Great Disconnect in our upended remote/hybrid world of work in 2021.
