The Story of Margy

- Jess hired Margy as an environmental canvasser for Clean Water Action in 2011, which is how they met
- Jess sent Margy to the Austin office and became her mentor; Margy went to Austin and never came back (she was living her truth as a 22 year old flake)
- After spending 2 years in Taiwan, Jess and Margy got back in touch
- Margy’s dad died by suicide, and Jess adopted her dad’s cat
- Margy moved to Colorado, and left her sales job in jewelry to work for the Interview Connections team as a contractor
- Margy moved back to Rhode Island, which allowed her to become the first in house employee of the business, complete with a comically large cat name plate! #SheSaidYes
