What excites you most about your work or personal projects?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>After graduating from Simon, I began my career in advertising and integrated marketing. Six months ago, I transitioned into Revenue Operations at Paychex as a Sales Acceleration Manager within the Sales Acceleration Center of Excellence (COE). Our COE develops innovative, data-driven strategies to drive revenue and transform our go-to-market strategy.<\/p>\n<p>In my current role, I combine my passion for operations, project management, and data with relationship building. By leveraging automation, AI, and 360\u00b0 problem-solving, we are revolutionizing how our sales teams engage with clients and prospects. I&#8217;m proud to contribute to initiatives that are transforming Paychex, especially knowing that our solutions empower businesses to grow. What makes this journey even more meaningful is that my parents were once Paychex clients, leveraging payroll solutions for their contracting firm.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Reflecting on your time at the URochester in Simon, what are your most cherished memories?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Can I say all of them?<br \/>\nIf I must choose, three experiences at Simon stand out for me.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Finals Week at Elmwood Inn<\/strong><br \/>\nGathering with classmates and professors in an informal setting during finals week showed me how much our professors were invested in our success\u2014not just as students, but as individuals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serving as a TA<\/strong><br \/>\nWorking as a teaching assistant for Professor Ron Schmidt\u2019s business strategy class deepened my understanding of the material and reshaped my perspective on \u201cleading with influence.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Entrepreneurship Class \u2013 \u201cShark Tank\u201d Style<\/strong><br \/>\nDeveloping and pitching a product concept challenged me to take a 360\u00b0 approach to product development and marketing\u2014skills I use daily in my career. My team pitched \u201cdatesmartpeople.com,\u201d a dating site for those with advanced degrees. Despite initial skepticism, we secured the majority of the investment, proving that with a solid strategy and market analysis, any idea can succeed. This experience taught me the value of taking calculated risks and backing intuition with data.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How did your involvement with campus activities and the Simon Business School shape your personal and professional development?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Being a student at Simon was both academically challenging and personally fulfilling\u2014I\u2019d go home exhausted but inspired! The rigorous coursework and collaborative environment allowed me to engage with peers from diverse backgrounds, boosting my confidence and relationship-building skills.<\/p>\n<p>My involvement in Simon Volunteers fueled my passion for community service and led me to join the Junior League of Rochester (JLR), where I later served as President. During my tenure, the JLR launched the region\u2019s only diaper bank, which has distributed over 1 million diapers\u2014a testament to the coalition-building skills I gained at Simon.<\/p>\n<p>Through the Marketing Club, I attended a talk by Sharon Napier, head of Partners+Napier.

As a young professional, it was challenging to find professional development opportunities. I was looking for new and creative ways to grow and flex my leadership skills, plus build my network. Joining <a href=\"https:\/\/simon.rochester.edu\/alumni\/simon-school-advancement\/community\/simon-women-alliance\">Simon Women\u2019s Alliance<\/a> (SWA) allowed me to find those opportunities and build connections, leading to me joining the leadership committee for the <a href=\"\/advancement\/womens-network\/\">Women\u2019s Network<\/a> and co-chairing our upcoming <a href=\"\/advancement\/womens-summit\/\">Women\u2019s Summit in March<\/a>. I was also able to use my University volunteer leadership to build my professional profile and showcase leadership to my management team.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Can you share some of your most rewarding experiences or impactful moments from your leadership and volunteer roles?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Joining the Women\u2019s Network from the ground up has been an incredible experience. Seeing the University\u2019s dedication to empowering women and addressing important issues has been truly rewarding. We\u2019re creating a network for women (and allies!), by women. As a leadership committee member, I have the opportunity to help shape the future of this impactful organization.<\/p>\n<p>In SWA, our biggest impact is supporting women scholars, with a scholarship, at the Simon School. Each year, 100% of our membership dues support at least two women attending the school. Last year, I had the opportunity to meet our current SWA scholars at the fall SWA conference. Hearing about their experience and learning more about the impact the scholarship was having on these talented women was a game-changer! It brought the meaning of \u201cever better\u201d to life.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What are some of your favorite events or initiatives you\u2019ve participated in as part of the Women&#8217;s Network or Simon Women&#8217;s Alliance?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>My favorite event is always the SWA conference, which is why I\u2019m so excited to co-chair the Women\u2019s Summit! The SWA conference focuses on collaboration, connection, and learning. I always leave the event with a new approach or strategy, be it one for my personal development or professional career. Some of the most impactful lectures and development sessions I have attended have been at the SWA conference.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How has staying connected with the University and Simon impacted your personal and professional networks?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Engaging with the University and Simon community has connected me to a variety of talented alums that I would not have crossed paths with ordinarily. Through SWA, I have reconnected with former classmates, as well as developed relationships with alums from different class years. I now have connections for career brainstorming, networking advice, and support as a parent of young children.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>How you can get involved like Rose<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What advice would you give to fellow alumni considering leadership or volunteer roles within the University or Simon community?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Don\u2019t wait for \u201cone day\u201d\u2014make today \u201cDAY ONE\u201d of your leadership and volunteer journey.
