Get to Know Our Summer Intern NATALIA RISES TO EVERY OPPORTUNITY
We’re excited to introduce our summer marketing intern, Natalia. Natalia is a business major at the University of Texas at Dallas, and she’s spending the summer with us to get real-world experience for the concepts she learned in school. From day one, Natalia has been a natural fit with the team, taking it upon herself to learn our systems, study up on our methods, and adapt to them immediately. As Russell says, “She’s just a month in and already making a difference. I can’t wait to see what she accomplishes!” Natalia is working closely with Gabriela on marketing tasks and says she’s already learned a lot in her time here. “I really enjoy learning the technical side. I’m doing
some graphic design, too, and I really enjoy that,” Natalia says. “You always learn about these concepts in class, but getting to see it firsthand, seeing it day to day, is really helpful in visualizing what I’ll be doing after graduation,” Natalia says. Speaking of graduation, Natalia is one semester away from completing her degree, and she’s excited about the launching pad her internship at The Button Law Firm is giving her. “I plan to continue to work on the skill set I have, and I’m open to opportunities. I’m open to whatever comes,” she says of her bright future. Fortunately, Natalia will get a chance to recharge and reflect on her experiences before heading back to school. At the end
of the summer, between her internship wrapping up and classes starting, she’s going on a road trip with her husband to tour New Mexico and Colorado. It sounds like her adventures are just beginning.
3 LIFE LESSONS MY MOM TAUGHT ME
Because July 23 is my mom’s birthday (happy birthday, Mom!), I want to take a moment and share some of the wisdom she has imparted to me. While she’s taught me innumerable life lessons, three in particular stick out in my mind.
to accomplish that week. She had us write down our goals every week, so we wouldn’t lose sight of them. I was in kindergarten when she started doing that, but I remember those lessons to this day.
3. KEEP IMPROVING
1. ONE THING AT A TIME
My mom is an avid reader, consuming multiple articles and books each week. To this day, when I see her or give her a call, she asks, “What’s the last book you finished? What are you reading right now?” If I’m going on a trip, she’ll ask, “What book are you taking with you?” She’s always been about looking for ways to improve. Up until my high school graduation, she had us play 30 minutes of music a day. Music has always been a part of my life — I even took piano in college — and it goes back to my mom’s approach: How you train is how you play. –Russell Button
My mom has always helped me out with reminding me to take things one at a time. I get in the habit of thinking I can do everything at once and end up with so much on my plate that if one thing goes wrong, I’m totally behind and have to dig my way out. Whenever I’m in those phases, my mom reminds me of the simplest truth: You’re not going to be able to tackle it all, so tackle things one at a time.
2. DON’T LOSE FOCUS
Mom has always been goal-driven, and it was a quality she raised us with. I remember sitting around the table as a kid at Sunday dinners, and Mom asked us what we wanted
