I’m originally from Tampa, Florida, where I grew up surrounded by family (I have an identical twin and two other siblings). I went to school at UNC Chapel Hill, which I absolutely loved, where I majored in Business and minored in Journalism. The desire to explore the intersection of business, creativity and technology led me to a career in marketing. I also love photography as a creative outlet, so you can check out my work here: https://www.hannah-smith-photography.com/

• digital marketing - I’ve worked as a user researcher on our customer research team, as a project manager on our first-ever (!) digital product from the marketing department at Cisco, and now as a digital strategist on our global digital experiences team. Always learning more!
• hybrid work - I interned in person, but started my full time career as a remote employee during the pandemic. It definitely has its pros and cons, but I’m very interested in how the development needs of early-in-careers change in hybrid or remote work environments. This interest led me to twenty!
• finding ways to get involved in the community - being a Girls on the Run coach and becoming involved in a volunteer league in San Diego have been two highlights of my year!

​

​

• moving across the country (fun fact: I drove across the country by myself)
• reflecting on goals (I’ve journaled since 2016!)
• navigating grief and loss (I lost a friend in college & it fundamentally shaped a lot of my post-grad experience)
• finding your own identity (as an identical twin, this is very important to me)
• hobbies & creative endeavors: books, running (I am not fast but I recently trained for and completed the NYC marathon), photography, yoga (CorePower loyalist), decorating my house with Facebook marketplace finds, scrapbooking, making birthday cards for friends
