What brought you to VEGA?
I was at a career fair at Northern Kentucky University when the yellow stand caught my eye. I talked with Mary Johnson, Employee Development Manager, and I really liked her emphasis on the family environment and meaningful work here.
What are your daily tasks at VEGA?
I help customers find sales representatives that will help them, I co-run the VEGA co-op Twitter account, and ship packages all around the world.
Have you worked on any special projects?
I am currently trying to find a way to increase engagements on our marketing internship page and Twitter accounts. I am also working with our Marketing Data Analyst, Mike, on opening up new markets that VEGA can operate in. Dealing with big data is a tall task that is fun to take on.
What is your biggest accomplishment at VEGA?
Getting a job here in the first place. I used to work at Home Depot throwing mulch into people's cars. This was a huge step for me and I am thankful every day that I was given this opportunity.

Definitely Jimmy John's. Slim 3 every time.
What is your favorite class?
Intro to Microeconomics, it really opened my viewpoint into how individual people and businesses make decisions.
