Megan Yang
A Marketing Communications Specialist with comprehensive responsibilities looking to further a career in Marketing. I have managed chaos in fast-paced, dynamic, entrepreneurial environments and get the job done.
I’m personable, organized, have a strong work ethic, and a desire learn. These qualities are easy to say, harder to explain, and probably best understood by speaking with those I’ve worked with and by meeting me in person.
