Sylvia Nacey

Welcome to my profile! I hope you enjoy your stay. This summary is a bit unorthodox, but it gets to the heart of why I am working towards being as good a colleague as can be. Get ready for some Q&A.


What activities make you lose track of time?

Coming up with stories, imagining new worlds, and creating thematic ideas to bind those worlds with the one we live in has made me look at the clock and wonder why it’s midnight many times. I also love classifying and organizing data; give me the chance to make a list of anything, from my favorite Beatles albums to a few columns of numbers and I will waste the day away.

Who do you do your job for?

If I care about what I am working towards, I will do everything I can to help the people I am working with. When I was at Breakpoint Booking as an Intern, this meant coming to meetings at two in the morning every week because I was studying abroad in the UK.

How has your undergraduate experience influenced your work life?

Studying at Loyola Marymount University has given me the chance to define what I want out of my ideal work environment. I love creative spaces, rooms where I can bounce around ideas, and communities of curious people, whether they are historians (I was a History major), screenwriters (my minor), or anything else.

What do you do outside of work that makes you a better employee?

A niche answer but: Dungeons and Dragons. Improvising with a group of friends in a goofy fantasy setting has subtly made me more in tune with many important aspects of the working world, from interpersonal communications to time management to scheduling.

What do you want out of your career?

My goal out of my working life is to find a job I love so much and people that I love working with so much that I won’t want to retire; I want to wake up in the morning just as excited to go to work as I am to come home in the evening. In short, I want to be fulfilled.
