Last year’s Year of Water theme demonstrated the variety of green career paths out there. We are excited to continue to explore these paths during our week focused on Green Careers, leading up to the All Ivy Environmental Career Fair on Friday, February 24th. We welcome alum, Clare Epstein, to @PennCareerDay on Wednesday, February 22nd. Clare will post about her role with TRA, an environmental, health and safety software company. To learn more about Clare, read below and remember to follow her on the 22nd!
Clare Epstein graduated from Penn in 1994 with a Bachelor in Urban Studies and has ended up 18 years later as Vice President of TRA, Inc in charge of the IndustrySafe Safety Management Software. How did her time at Penn help her prepare for her current position? How did she end up 1) working from a home office in the suburbs 2) starting in environmental, health and safety software and 3) managing programmers and developers (among others)- all things she did not anticipate upon graduation and some of which she swore she would never do? Learn what “A Day in the Life” is like for Ms. Epstein as she conducts virtual meetings, participates in webinars and sales demos, utilizes social media and technology for sales and marketing efforts and makes time for “real” non virtual activity in the work day too, like exercising and eating.
