@sdsualumni #WhereAreTheyNow? Spotlight featuring class of 2010 alumnus: Rex Brown! 

Brown, who was chosen by @sandiegostateuniversity faculty as the top management student in his class, reflects on how his journey has evolved over the last decade following his graduation from #SDSUFowler. 

Q: What has happened in your life since you left #SDSU 10 years ago?
A: After I graduated, I moved back home to the Bay Area to start my Silicon Valley career. Earlier this year, I became a father for the first time as my wife Nicole and I welcomed Isaiah Bryant Brown to the world.
 
Q: Where are you working now? 
A: I'm a policy manager at Pinterest, where I work at the intersection of technology and policy. Prior to that, I spent nine years in product, business development and marketing roles at Google, YouTube and Facebook.
 
Q: What was the most important lesson you learned at #SDSU? 
A: I learned that it's okay to pivot and change directions: I switched majors multiple times, interned in different industries and applied to law school but never ended up attending. College is the perfect time to be really honest with yourself and figure out what really drives you (and what doesn't). It's completely fine to not have your life planned out, but use your time in college to try to focus on a specific industry and function. Test your hypothesis by talking to people in the roles and industries that you're curious about and do the research. Through the process of elimination, you'll get closer to figuring out what path may make the most sense.
