RICHARD J. HEBY

When I graduated Union College, with an English/Philosophy degree, I didn't know what I wanted to do, or what I could do for work. What I knew was: I could write, and write well. So I started freelance writing. I did some blogging and ghostwriting, honed my editing skills, and learned the ins and outs of publishing. I even wrote some self-help books, children's books, and poetry, for hire... During my time freelancing, I had the opportunity to work as a team lead on the Adobe Digital Marketing blog (now CMO.com). There, I gained insights into the world of marketing and saw how a major tech company functioned.
