back to the women of Sonoco

Overview
I have been with Sonoco for 19 years and it is the only place I’ve worked since earning my MBA (concentration in Finance). I grew up in Hartsville and my dad works here. I did summer internships at Sonoco when I was in school, but making a career here wasn’t something I necessarily planned.

On-the-job
I’ve been fortunate to hold a number of positions at Sonoco. I spent my first 11 years with the company in two positions: customer service representative and account representative. I then served as a strategic account manager and a segment manager before moving into my current role as marketing manager. In my current role I develop market strategy, identify growth opportunities and manage export sales.

Off-the-job
I have two young kids, but no secrets when it comes to balancing work and life. Managing childcare around the schedules of two working parents takes perseverance. I am fortunate in that my husband is extremely supportive and my managers at Sonoco have allowed job flexibility.

Most memorable moments
From a work perspective, my most memorable moment probably occurred when my male coworkers hosted a bachelorette party for me while we were all attending an industry conference in Memphis. On the personal front, I would say the birth of my kids and attending the finals of the World Cup Soccer tournament in Los Angeles in 1999 when the U.S. played China.
