Sara Lopez might have the coolest job in the world. As the New Media Spokesperson for 8th Continent’s Soy Milk, Sara gets to travel around the country to exciting events and interesting places and then write about her experiences on 8th Continent’s Blog, Facebook page and Twitter site.

Her career wasn’t always this fun though.  After college, she started working in a traditional consulting company that was not a good fit for her outgoing personality, noticeable tattoos and faux hawk haircut. Consequently, she was let go and unemployed for a while. However, Sara remained optimistic and committed to finding a job that would allow her to use her talents and be her self.

I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Sara about her career path. In our conversation, Sara told me how she stayed so positive and focused throughout the tough times in her career.  She also shared with me an eye-opening story that helped me to see the big picture.
