"If not for CWP, I probably wouldn't have the desire or guts to work for myself! Graduating in 2008, it was also tough to get work in the financial industry. I'm not sure I would have gotten my first job at Lincoln Financial if not for the experience and confidence I had after CWP."
What Has Been Your Proudest Accomplishment Post-CWP?
Starting in 2012 I led a 138-unit building conversion from a failed Cooperative to a Condo Association, which involved navigating a multilingual environment and highly diverse socioeconomic conditions. After receiving an insolvent 2013 budget, I restructured it to save more than $120,000 without making unrealistic cuts, deferring necessary maintenance, or damaging the Condo Association's future financial condition. Today the building has a healthy emergency fund, positive YTD cash flow, and all employees will finally get a 10% raise in 2014!

CWP: 2005 to 2006
"People hear internship and immediately think you were the guinea pig for an Exec. When I first got out of school it was the wow factor that CWP got me in interviews. Namely, they could not believe that we were in charge of starting and running our own business at the age of 19 - and the $90K gross income for a summer painting business usually caught their attention as well."

I am heading the Super Bowl campaign for my client, Hyundai for 2014. Being at the agency only about 7 months, this is a coveted role - and it's awesome that they gave it to me.

"CWP impacted my career right out of the gate because I knew what it meant to have to earn your keep. I was a top performer on my team at Experian, not because I knew more than everyone else, but because I was willing to work harder.
Now, I have grown immensely in my career and realized CWP taught me how to deal with conflict. The more you grow and the more interactions you have, the more conflicts you will be part of. No customer will ever be as angry as a person who received a bad paint job on their house. Be professional, set expectations, and offer concessions when applicable in order to come to agreements.."
