Most organizations know how to treat their staff with a little bit of TLC but Bryant takes it a step further every day. We know how amazing our staff is but what do you, the reader, know? You probably know that we have great, creative writers. Well I decided we needed to spotlight our staff in a way that lets you know the smaller things like what they are studying in school, where they will be all summer, and even their favorite part about HC Bryant! These are placed in no particular order so if by the end of this you don’t feel closer with us, read again.

HC Bryant Role: Co-Founder/President/Campus Correspondent (not sure what to call it)
What she loves about HC Bryant: I love Her Campus Bryant because it reminded me what it feels like to be truly passionate about a project. In fact, it’s part of the reason I decided to pursue my dream of being an entrepreneur, instead of getting a corporate job after college (and I couldn’t be happier).

What she will be doing this summer: Working full-time for my long-time client and friend, first in California, then either in NYC or Amsterdam. Either way, I’ll be moving to NYC sometime soon and taking on additional clients for my copy-writing/internet marketing business, as well as starting to hire and train employees (if you want to make money as a writer/internet marketer, keep an eye out for info about this great part-time job in the fall!).
