Becky Wright is from Tallahassee, FL and calls herself a
“Tallahassee lassie.” Becky and her
siblings were raised by her mom single handed and that is who inspired her to
be a woman in charge! She had the
opportunity to develop a strong work ethic at a young age by taking on her
first job helping her brother-in-law’s small business at the age of fourteen. Becky graduated from Leon High School in 2005
where she was an enthusiastic cheerleader in the fall and an aggressive soccer
player in the spring. “I have always
loved being a part of competitive team sports; maybe I cheered so I could have
better seats at the ball games!”
After high school Becky attended Florida State University
and received her BA in Psychology.
During college she worked for the State of Florida as a Data Entry specialist
and realized that “a comfortable job and salary as well as being stuffed in a
cubical was not the life for me.” Becky’s
hobbies have always been seeing live entertainment, so she started pursuing the
music industry by working for a variety of music festivals. In 2009 she moved to Atlanta, GA to intern
with a promotional marketing company for music festivals, venues, and artists. “The economy was not very kind to the
industry as it is a luxury, and I saw that my hard work was not getting
compensated. It was time for an all-around
career change.” Becky then started an entry-level position at
a sales and marketing firm in Atlanta. “I
had zero sales experience, but trusted my trainers and coaches to teach me
sales. I knew that with my strong work
ethic I would achieve my goals and I was quickly promoted to account manager!” Less than a year
later, she had the opportunity to transfer and help her colleague Cj Suggs new office
in the Kansas City, MO area. Becky has
worked for Livewire Concepts, Inc. since February, 2011, and was promoted to
assistant manager in January, 2012.
