Women in Business: The REAL women behind MSPC success
Interview conducted by Ana Gambetta.
Jessica Levin is an entrepreneur who owns her own firm, Seven Degrees, LLC. For nearly a decade, she has assisted MSPC with marketing and many other wonderful events.
Jessica always knew she wanted to work in events, which unfortunately wasn’t a major during her college days so she chose hospitality, took a marketing course, changed majors, and found herself in a successful career today including being named to NJBiz Top 50 Women in Business.
She’s a coffee person and prefers cats, but if she could spend the day in someone else shoes, it would be those of her own dogs! She’s written two books, and to my surprise, she hates to write! While she has successfully been self-employed for 10 years, if she could have another career, Jessica could run for office, or be an actress.
