The time and preparation that goes into these activities is the most rewarding part of my job because of the collaboration and creativity they require; you really have the chance to get to know people. We spend 8+ hours at work every day so having good people around you who are kind and cooperative makes all the difference in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s something you\u2019ve done in your career that you\u2019re proud of? <\/strong>My family and I worked really hard for everything we\u2019ve accomplished since moving to the U.S. from Colombia more than 21 years ago. I feel really proud of my roots, the relationships I\u2019ve been able to cultivate over the years, and graduating from college while working full-time with zero student loans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice do you have for girls and women who are interested in your field?<\/strong> Be genuine, humble, and perseverant. Approach every role with an open mind and give it 100%. If it doesn\u2019t work out, at least you know you gave it your best. Don\u2019t be afraid of the unknown and be kind to yourself.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When Senior Marketing Coordinator Alexandra Orozco joined Murraysmith in 2019, she jumped in with both feet.
