Theresa Brunasso

When I was young, I thought my career would be a simple progression. First college, then graduate school, then working for a company and moving up the ranks. Along the way I'd learn more and take on leadership roles. It didn't exactly work that way. My career had unexpected twists, turns, challenges, and obstructions. It was both more difficult than I expected, and more interesting. Join me as I take you over the path of my career, starting in Los Angeles with stops in Florida, Utah and Georgia and Mars. It wasn't what I expected, and it wasn't always easy, but I wouldn't change a thing.
