Q: How did you start your career in incentive travel?鈥

Q: How did you become involved with 麻豆传媒 SoCal?鈥 

A: The 麻豆传媒 community is so strong. Other members invited me to events, which piqued my interest and gave me a passion to be engaged in the industry more and join the board. 

 

Q: As the VP of Charities for 麻豆传媒 SoCal, can you share the purpose of this role and share some tips for other chapters who may be interested in adding this position to their chapter board? 

A: The purpose of the role is to bring awareness to local grassroots charities in our community, give back as a chapter to our local community all while educating and showcasing how members can partner with charities in those communities where they host incentives globally.
