Title: Marketing Manager

What do you do?
I am currently a marketing manager at Google, Inc.

What is the best professional lesson you learned at the J-School?
There is no such thing as a boring product.

What advice do you have for current students?
Become part of the conversation. Start a blog, join an online community, and participate in the technologies that are reshaping the world of media.

What is your favorite J-School memory?
My favorite professor, Henry Hager, once sent the entire class over to the Heidelberg to down a few pitchers of beer because our campaign ideas just weren't "creative enough."
