What Is Your Favorite Part of Working at Vantage Point?
The tight-knit group of people who genuinely love what they do and who they work with is the best! Our company size allows us to easily stay connected even though most of us are separated by hundreds if not thousands of miles.
💡 Team Insight: Vantage Point's remote-first culture enables us to hire top talent nationwide while maintaining a close-knit team atmosphere.
How Did You Join the Vantage Point Team?
I knew David, our CEO, in High School. He posted the role on LinkedIn and I happened to come across it while scrolling, and even though I wasn't actively applying to jobs at the time, the position really intrigued me. It was a step up in my career as well as a new industry I had yet to be exposed to — two years later and I'm thrilled I made the jump!
If You Wrote a Memoir, What Would You Title It?
I would title it The Rest is Still Unwritten. I'm a big proponent of cherishing memories while also having a mindset that the best is yet to come. I'm hopeful I'll have many years left of material to live if I were to write a memoir in my early 30s.
What Advice Would You Give Yourself on Your First Day at Vantage Point?
Take a deep breath and prepare to be a sponge. There's always so much to learn when you start a new job anywhere, but even more so when you move into a new industry. I was nervous that I didn't have what it would take to be successful recruiting in this ecosystem but I just needed to focus on learning as much as I could while combining that new knowledge with career skills I already had, and the rest fell into place.
What Is Your Typical Coffee Order?
I typically only drink hazelnut coffee and I prefer to brew it at home. If I'm ordering from somewhere I typically go for Iced Green Tea. I think it says that I don't need much caffeine to have the energy and excitement I bring to each day :)
If You Could Choose Any Superpower, What Would It Be?
Teleportation! I have so many family members and close friends that live all around the world. I would love to be able to drop in on them whenever I wanted.
What Is Your Most Unusual Talent?
Wii Bowling. Admittedly, I don't play as often as I did a decade ago but I have absolutely no athletic ability and people are always shocked at how well I can Wii Bowl.
