My Greatest Accomplishment: Starting and growing my creative agency, Argyle Interactive. Argyle was born during my junior year at Drexel. Building a company that is able to give back to causes I care about like the Anti-Defamation League and to be able to hire co-ops and team members from my alma mater has been very fulfilling.
How Drexel Helped: Argyle was inspired by an experiential learning course that I took as well as by my time on co-op. I was working at a hotel in New Jersey when my manager encouraged me to write a business plan based on my marketing job description. He noticed I was tech savvy and suggested I try to work for multiple companies at the same time, all for the salary of one marketing professional. After gaining the initial experience from my first few clients, the Charles D. Close School of Entrepreneurship and the Baiada Institute for Entrepreneurship took a chance and hired Argyle Interactive as their outsourced communications team. Not only was I able to grow the company with this new relationship, but the guidance I received from the school’s dean, Donna De Carolis, and the director of the Baiada Institute, Chuck Sacco, was invaluable.
Where I’ll Be in Five Years: I hope to grow Argyle Interactive into one of the most notable marketing companies in Philadelphia while keeping our startup work culture and personalized customer service. From there, I’d like to invest in young business owners and companies to provide them with the resources and guidance I wish I’d had at the beginning.
“If I live to be 100, the change I’d most like to see in the world is…
The discontinuation of single-use plastic, the curtailment of greenhouse gases, and 100 percent renewable energy — so the beauty of our planet is protected for future generations.”
