The time has come! After over 3.5 years on the Training & Development team for Online Sales & Operations at Google, I’m going to be switching teams in late September. I’ve been really looking forward to the day that I could finally share this news with you (I wanted to wait until everything was finalized and communicated internally first). Watch the one-minute video to find out where I’m headed!

Unrelated Art Plug: The beautiful painting in the background was done by my dad – check out his website to see more of his work. He’s selling baseball card sized paintings for $10 each if you’re looking for something to spruce up your apartment (if you want to buy any, shoot me an email). Click here to see what the cards can look like framed.

Stay tuned for a follow-up story next week about the steps I took to get my new position. It wasn’t easy, but it taught me a lot about myself and the job searching process (even though it’s an internal transfer).
