I always had a strong interest in business, and knew even in college that I wanted to pursue a career in consumer packaged goods brand management. My double major in Sociology and Economics gave me a great liberal arts foundation for understanding both the people and the number components of business and marketing. Upon graduation from Dartmouth, I completed my Masters in Business Administration at University of Michigan, with an emphasis on strategy and general management. After internships at Procter & Gamble and Kraft Foods, I joined the marketing team at E. & J. Gallo Winery in California. In my 8+ years at Gallo so far, I've had the opportunity to branch out to a variety of exciting and challenging roles in other areas of the business, including Lean Six Sigma and Sales Planning. I consider myself lucky to work at a great company, with great people, in an exciting industry.
When I started at Dartmouth, I had never heard of Sociology. My freshman seminar (Poverty in America) piqued my interest, and led to a lifelong interest in issues of inequality. That freshman seminar led me to volunteer at Head Start in Lebanon, NH for my entire time at Dartmouth, and I continue to be involved in youth education and mentoring organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters. Majoring in Sociology forever changed my outlook on issues of structural inequality, and I thank the Dartmouth Socy department for broadening my perspective and challenging my worldview.
