" I sat through a presentation this morning at General Motors in which we were presented a bunch of new tools for marketing analytics! It was nice to know what 'CTA' and 'SEO' stood for! Looking forward to use my new skillset to make a difference in the company, even if I am a 'finance' person. :) "
