Next Tuesday, November 5, Rosary is hosting the last Speak to Inspire of the semester featuring two Rosary alumna who’s careers focus on marketing. The speakers attending are Maddie Pelayo ‘16 and Shayna Marks ‘04. Speak to Inspire allows students to explore different career paths and see how former Royals are pursuing their careers. Each session focuses on a different career track which allows Royals to explore their options, and dive deeper if they already have an idea of their future.
One of the speakers, Maddie Pelayo, is a social media manager for Travis Mathew Women’s department and will share all aspects of her job. After Maddie graduated from Rosary she attended Loyola Marymount University where she earned her degree in Business Marketing. Mrs. Pontius ‘03 says, “Maddie is the creative force behind the social media accounts at Travis Mathew Women’s.”
Another alumna, Shayna Marks, will also be sharing her experiences and what running her own business is like. Shayna is the founder of Citrus Marketing Inc. which specializes in brand storytelling through digital content focused on empowering female brands. Mrs. Pontius also highlights that, “Outside of the 9-5, she spends her time with her two pups, friends and family, doing yoga and working on home decor projects.” We look forward to hearing more about both speakers and the different experiences they have had!
One student, Ava Lopez ‘27, has seen the different opportunities Speak to Inspire provides for students and wants to attend one in the future. She says, “I think that Speak to Inspire is a great opportunity for students who know what they want to do to learn more about, and if you are still unsure it lets you learn more about different jobs.” That is a great point and everyone should take the time to attend at least one Speak to Inspire to hear from alumna about how they reached their goals!
If you are interested in business, marketing, or still unsure about your future, this is a great opportunity to listen and learn from others’ experiences. If you are interested in attending, registration is required so check your email for more information.
There will be more Speak to Inspire opportunities throughout the year, so if you have the opportunity it is a great way to learn more about different industries!
