>> So I went to the University of Arizona and I studied Art History
and I actually finished my college degree in 3 years
and then pursued a curatorial admin position at Phoenix Art Museum.
For those who don't know what art history or curatorial field is,
it's managing a collection at a museum.
So Phoenix Art Museum had a collection of European works and they had a curator
that was responsible for managing exhibitions as well
as the internal collection and I assisted him.
So it was a great place to get hands on training in terms of just how an office works,
what does the finance department do, the marketing department?
Being that it was a non-profit, it wasn't a place where you actually made money.
So early on in my career, I knew that I wanted to actually make money and possibly work
for profit so I started looking around and found a position at Yelp.
And Yelp in 2010 was rapidly expanding in the Scottsdale market, they just opened an office
and I joined when there were 80 employees and now there are 450 employees.
