Basically Boston began as a group project in our Social Media Marketing class a few semesters ago. This blog has gone beyond a typical class project (once completed, you never work on again). Each of us has missed contributing to this blog and have decided to start it back up again! We hope you all will be excited about this as we are. We look forward to having you back as readers and anticipate that you will enjoy our content to come.
Since we’ve posted last, we have all been extremely busy finishing up school, earning our degrees, finding jobs, and taking the next step in our lives.
Christina is working for an investment fund manager based in Boston that is focused on creating social impact in emerging markets. She is also working towards her MBA at UMass Boston. Her office is located in a cool coworking space in the Leather District that helps her stay tuned in to the latest trends and coolest events in the area. You can find her on the Orange Line any day of the week.
Meghan is working as an account executive dealing with advertising at Phoenix Media Communications Group (i.e. The Boston Phoenix, STUFF magazine, and WFNX FM). The job is amazing and keeps her very, very busy! Her office is right next to Fenway Park, one of, if not the, staple of being in Boston. On the weekends you can still find her working as a waitress in the theater district, so feel free to stop by for some food or cocktails!
Jennifer is working as a marketing & sales assistant at a venture-backed software start-up focused on streamlining data loss incident response. Her office has recently relocated to Alewife, a part of Cambridge - just north of Boston. Working for a start-up, Jennifer wears many hats and has been given the role of office manager as well. She is learning a great deal about the early stages of a business and has had the opportunity to be a part of the company’s growth. You can occasionally find her in the North End, indulging in some world-famous italian food on the weekends.
Lauren is now working for a Health and Wellness Company in the North Shore. She loves her job as it varies from day to day and she is learning ALL that goes into making a business run. She is now also dedicating her time weekly as a Big Sister to a great kid and finds that very rewarding. She loves spending time with her 1 year old Bernese Mountain dog, Duke, who takes up a lot of her free time! She stlll loves being with friends and exploring the city where she feels you can always find something new to see and do!
Karin, who was studying abroad in Boston when we started the blog, has returned to Germany to complete her masters degree in management. Besides, she is working as a research assistant and tutor for marketing. Although she has since traveled to Australia, she still misses her time and friends in Boston and hopes to return soon and make retrospect contributions when she can!
We are happy to be back and hope you'll stay tuned for all the latest happenings in Boston.
