Throwback Thursday – To commemorate the 10th year of SXTXState, each Thursday we’ll be featuring past participants in the project. Check back each Thursday until SXSW to find out what SXTXState alumni remember from their time with the project and what they are up to now.

Carly Hohl graduated from Texas State University in 2010 with a Master’s Degree in Mass Communications. In 2009, she was apart of the SXTXState program and attended SXSW to report on the conference. Currently, she is the Project Management Director at TradeMark Media, where she has worked since she graduated. In this role, she helps lead, train, and mentor the Project Management Office, as well as manage new website designs and development projects, lead content strategy and integration for clients and staff, and act as the liaison between clients and the production team. I was fortunate enough to sit down over a Skype call with Hohl and discuss her experience with the SXTXState program, some of her favorite memories and takeaways, and how it has helped shape her career after graduate school.
