This past May, I found myself feeling slightly defeated searching for a job as a recent graduate in the midst of a global pandemic. If you had asked me what I would be doing post-graduation six months prior, I would have most certainly given you a concrete answer along the lines of “working in a new job at an office full time”. Although I couldn’t quite see an end in sight, resiliency has always been one of the strongest ingredients in my personality. Right as I was about to pivot my search to job titles I didn’t quite love, I came across the Arlington Chamber of Commerce. In a sort of cliché, “stars aligning” moment, I knew I found the perfect balance of my passions in a challenging and fun environment.
