This recent graduate chats about her role in a growing tech startup, her thoughts on career growth and future leadership, remote work and storytelling.
TweetShareShare A few years ago, Taylor Epps decided to leave the Jersey Shore where she grew up to spend four years in snowy Syracuse for college. While the weather was cold and sometimes unbearable for her, attending the Newhouse School gave her what she considers to have been an excellent experience in journalism, technology and production. It put her in the room with great people, like Mike Gursha, whom she met while studying in NYC for a semester.
As someone who’s just about to start their career beyond college, how have you been thinking about your next five or ten years as a professional? I’m really excited. Frankly, at school, I felt a bit limited. Syracuse is such an amazing place and it has prepared me well for this next step, but now that I’m out of the classroom, I’m looking forward to the freedom that comes with being a professional. I’m ready for anything that comes my way.
You’ve put in some focused time producing various forms of content. What can you tell us about storytelling? It’s incredibly important. There’s a significant amount of content consumed daily, millions of stories at the palm of our hand. Though there’s a ton of content, we tend to hear the same voices over and over again. My idea of storytelling is allowing people everywhere to have their voices heard and presenting it in a creative and visual way that informs or enlightens.
Working remote has been awesome since it has given me total flexibility on where / when I can do my work. Setting clear goals and expectations has been essential for me and other remote team members to be successful. Having great communication and good systems in place at the company has allowed for the same level of collaboration as if we were in an office together.
