Mary Ann Sena-Edelen is the epitome of what we all want to be. She’s sweet, caring, bubbly, and smart while being a strong leader. She has worked her way up the MGM Resorts International career ladder with pure dedication and is now the Director of Guest Experience. She came to Las Vegas in 1989 for her twenty-first birthday, and loved it so much she stayed. It was the best career and life move she ever made.

Organization and timeliness need to be a key part to your daily routine. Having a calendar, staying ahead of deadlines, and not using excusing for any reason will set you on the right path to getting all your work done. School is always first; your social life is second. Mary said the biggest problem within the MGM Corporation is the younger generations lack of organization. Too many young adults are lackadaisical about their work duties.

I had constant anxiety and felt constant pressure. It was intimidating and scary, but I wanted it so badly. Many of my coworkers got the job because they knew the manager. It required no effort for them. Now that they have it, they’re done trying. None of them want to advance. Don’t get comfortable in your situation. There’s always room for improvement. Interviewing and starting new jobs are always very intimidating and nerve racking. But you need to let life happen. Always push yourself to get farther. You can never be too
