210. How A Nurse Started in Programmatic Media

Gulshan started as a nurse and realised that her passion was outside of the medical field.  She knew she wanted to work in Marketing but did not know where to start. Luckily, her grad school professor recommended that she looked into programmatic and that is how she "fell" into the programmatic industry where she is now working for an ad agency who specialise in pharma and healthcare brands. Gulshan is such an inspiration for standing up for herself and pursuing something she wanted to and not being afraid to start "again" and take risk learning something new. It's never too late to pivot into a new  career and there's no expiration or deadline to your journey and growth.  This episode is Repurposed because it is just so darn good!   ## About Us The Programmatic Digest Podcast makes programmatic advertising, ad tech, and the future of digital media easier to understand.
