Rebecca Thorman’s Summary
I give career advice to the next generation of workers. Barely out of college, I job-hopped my way to becoming the Executive Director of MAGNET, an organization dedicated to attracting and retaining young talent in my region.
During that time, I also began authoring the blog Modite, featured in several media outlets including the New York Times as the key community for Generation Y leadership. I write candidly from experience.
Outside of the workplace, I enjoy photography, reading, lip-synching, and above all, time with family and friends. I'm from Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin – Madison, and am living in Madison, WI.
I speak with companies, organizations and students on a variety of topics.
