PPE ’11

“After freelancing for MTV, I ended up at an events company working in customer service and marketing for B2B events. I wasn’t passionate about it, but I was able to learn all aspects of event management. I really liked it so I thought, ‘How do I blend what I’m passionate about with the new skills I’ve learned?’ I figured out a ‘goal company’ where I wanted to work. For me, that perfect blend of event management and pop culture was New York Comic Con. I connected with their Marketing Director on Twitter. I discovered his team did much more than New York Comic Con; they were ReedPOP. I now work on a team that runs roughly 30 pop culture conventions worldwide for more than 1.8 million fans.”

“I started my dance career while at King’s. I was really into theater, particularly writing for it, so I did as many internships in theaters around the city that I could. One of those internships was at The New Victory Theater in Times Square. While there, I worked on a studio intensive with choreographer Sean Curran, who took a liking to me and said I had good movement. Ultimately, he introduced me to his friend, Heidi Latsky, who is the Artistic Director of her own dance company.”

“Transitioning from college to work was easier than I thought it would be​. Advertising is a client services job, so my role largely involves short-term projects—think three to ten days each. ​​The skills required to create and execute quality client deliverables are very similar​ to the skills required to succeed at King’s​.”
