Get to know Lauren Fox!
Why did you choose Brandeis GPS?
I chose Brandeis GPS because of the international student body, curriculum, reputation, and costs.
What inspired you to choose your field of study?
I wanted to build a marketing portfolio that expanded beyond communications. Since I matriculated, I’ve learned about e-commerce, data, go-to-market strategies and ethics. I also wanted to learn more about user-experience and interface designs.
How have you enjoyed your experience at Brandeis thus far?
I enjoy the curriculum the most. It’s so important to learn about budgeting if you’re in the media/marketing industries. My classmates are experts in their fields and learning about their experiences have clued me into what other businesses are doing in our field. I have a support system at Brandeis and feel championed in my academics and career planning.
What are your hopes and aspirations for the rest of your time at Brandeis?
I plan on graduating with honors, receiving potential awards, or career opportunities through alumni networking.
What are your plans for after graduation?
I am really excited to become an adjunct professor. I would love to teach courses that review how pop culture impacts marketing.
What advice would you give to incoming students?
Keep an open mind and utilize all the opportunities Brandeis gives to you! Reach out to your classmates; they will give you the support you need when you need help with classwork.
What has been your favorite class to-date?
Any class taught by Meredith Fortney and Marketing and Customer Analytics taught by Ross Morrone. I have used what I learned in their classes in my career. Impactful courses for anyone who works with ecommerce and data.
