"I was selected to represent my department in a larger project team to implement a new CRM system. We met weekly, sometimes twice a week, for about 12 months. My role was to make sure our old CRM system data was converted into the new one and that it was organized in a useful way. I collaborated with IT and the project manager for the new system to make sure the data was useful and organized. When the new system launched, our old and rich data was there and useable so we could maintain relationships we our customers seamlessly. I loved getting to work closely with other departments to learn about their roles within the CRM. I saw myself as both a leader and a worker bee on this project, roles I can take on in any situation."

"In college, we had to do a big project in my marketing class where we created an advertising campaign for a local business. I was in a group with four people, none of which I knew very well. We started talking to figure out where people's strengths were, and there was a more technical person, a strong presenter and communicator, a financial person, and me, the creative person. We all had our strengths but came together to help with the different pieces. We pitched our idea, and the business we modeled wanted to implement most of our ideas."
