Curating Career Life Stories: How Did I Get Here? Ep. 105 with Melinda Cross

Join me for the career reflections of Melinda Cross, communications specialist with an emphasis on book writing. A fellow storyteller, her journey is all about books and writing. She finds her way with an internship in politics, then a master's degree leads her into advertising, where she finds her niche as a communications specialist. Initially she works for advertising agencies, then goes out on her own contracting on projects for a variety of companies and across industries. Ultimately she lands where she really wants to be, book writing. Melinda shares two traits that have served her throughout her career: 1) Always doing her very best, taking great pride in her writing craft, and 2) being resilient. Her words of wisdom: “It’s how you do the little things that reflects how you’ll do the big things.” And, “Things aren’t always going to go your way, but if you keep your eye on your work and just do the best you can, you’re going to go places!”
