'''Oak Lawn Marketing''' was my entry point into my corporate IT career. Here, I discovered what it meant to be thoroughly engaged in work, realizing how my actions could directly impact business outcomes. I recall thinking, "If I had played team sports in high school, I might have learned some of these team-building skills earlier. But at 26, I am grateful for the opportunity to learn these lessons now."
