we can prevent something like this from EVER happening again. A little background info about me..I've grown up and lived in Atlanta for the past 14 years and have loved it! I did sports throughout my childhood but fell in love with gymnastics and followed that passion all the way to college where I was a member of the University of Georgia gymnastics team. When graduation was nearing, and I was figuring out what I wanted to do for a career, I knew that I had a passion for sports as well as for my major, advertising. I ended up getting an internship with Nike that took me to the state of Oregon on their home base. I got to see and meet the most amazing athletes, be part of a whirlwind of marketing and media events and products, and basically have the time of my life! However I realized that the south is where my home is, so I came back to pursue a career here in Atlanta. It took some time, but I did land a position at a media rep firm and have been there for a little over a year. It's definitely a good starting point for me, but I know that there's more out there and I'm hoping Empower Network will lead me there!
