This week marks my sixth anniversary of working at Verizon. From a young #adfellow to now a senior manager, time feels like it has flown but the growth I’ve seen in myself has been tremendous from six years ago. I’ve now had the opportunity to work in this company from three states and each location has come with its challenges and blessings. Colleagues have come and gone - making a huge impact in my growth. Some have become a “remember when?” memory while some are dear friends who I have shared amazing memories and traveled with. Eight upward and lateral promotions have passed by, continuously reassuring me that the opportunities have been mine to grab by the horns. It truly makes a difference knowing there are leaders that want to see you win and bring you towards success with them. Thank you to all of my bosses, mentors, cheerleaders and champions that have supported me all these years! #proudtobevz #networklife #verizon #adfellows
