A New Adventure Is Starting

Tonight I start a new adventure. I am heading to Tel Aviv to spend 11 weeks training and working at SpotAd Headquarters. I just spent the week working in the New York City office (soon to be my home office) and it was great fun. The team was amazing, very welcoming, and willing to take the time to answer my questions despite it being a chaotic time. So what am I going to be doing? That is a good question and one that I am still figuring out. SpotAd works in the adtech industry using predictive algorithms to collect and analyze data before bidding on mobile advertising placements. These bids occur thousands of times a second with the goal of having users click on the bid and install the application. They make placements in countries around the world on all kinds of devices. I am excited to enter this new world. It is going to feed my tech addiction and my love of working in fast-paced, ever changing environments.

Some of you may be asking what happened to Washington, DC? I'm still there. After my summer in Tel Aviv I will be returning to DC for the fall to complete my Masters in Public Policy. I have one semester left before I graduate. Yay! After graduation I will be moving up to New York to work full time with SpotAd. I haven't taken a linear path to where I am heading now, but it has been quite an adventure the last two and a half years from political campaigns to nonprofit management to school. Time for the next adventure.
