In honor of Amanda’s fifth year at LMC, we decided to ask her a few questions.

How did you start working at LMC?

I met Laura through community theater. I just loved her energy and heard she was CEO of her own marketing company in my town. After talking with her one day, it seemed like a perfect match. They were looking for someone to manage the office, social media and create graphics, and I was looking for a job that used a little bit of all my degrees and certificates (graphics, web, video, writing, business.)

What do you like most about LMC?

I can’t pick one and I’m not going to. Firstly, my coworkers are the most brilliant and creative people I have ever worked with. It’s been a dream of mine to be surrounded by the best, because being around the best can only make you better. Secondly, I love the variety day-to-day. I do a lot of administrative work and office managing, but I also do a lot of creative work like logo design, layout and writing social media posts. Switching gears, and also switching brain hemispheres, keeps me from getting bored or stuck creatively. It’s a nice balance.

What are your favorite projects?

I get to create memes and infographics for social media. Who gets to do that for work? Not many. I also enjoyed designing my first trade show booth for a client. Thousands of people from all over the country have seen my work. That was my first large project at LMC.

What is your favorite memory?

A few years ago we moved to a new office not far from our old one. It was easier just to carry things over, including the couch! We got some fun shots that day.

How are you different from the person you were 5 years ago?

Weekly, if not daily, I’m doing something I’ve never done before. That would have intimidated me five years ago. There’s really no “I can’t” or “I don’t know how.” There’s only “I don’t know yet, but I’m gonna learn right now.”

What do you see for the future?

I see LMC continuing to grow. We are very fortunate to have wonderful clients who refer us to other businesses and organizations. I hope to have many more get-togethers with coworkers and friends, like we had this past week. I’m looking forward to whatever the next five years bring!
