Young Media Professionals: Be Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable

I graduated from Fordham University a little over three years ago and took a Marketing Coordinator position at DISH Media Sales, the advertising sales division of DISH and Sling TV.  Today, as Head of Marketing for DISH Media Sales, I am responsible for leading the brand strategy and communications for all advertising solutions, including national video, addressable and programmatic across DISH and Sling TV.  Many factors have contributed to my fast track to management -- great mentors, being at the right place at the right time and working for an innovative company that promotes deserving employees at all levels regardless of tenure -- but there is one key driver that I believe has accelerated my growth: I am comfortable with being uncomfortable.
