My mind cracked open at UMW so that all my curiosity and energy was stimulated,&rdquo; she said.<\/p><p>At Mary Washington, she built up an extensive portfolio that helped her land a job selling and designing ads for a Northern Virginia newspaper. From there, she worked as a consultant in Manhattan.<\/p><p>&ldquo;If somebody needed a poster, if somebody needed a handbill, I did that for them,&rdquo; said MacDonald. &ldquo;And I built a very impressive portfolio by volunteering.&rdquo;<\/p><p>At Cabot Creamery, MacDonald took a creative campaign approach in marketing for the community-based cooperative to support an ethical form of farming that places farmer&rsquo;s values on a higher level than production. She used what she calls a &ldquo;quilt-based&rdquo; system to effectively utilize scarce resources, making sure to include the community while gaining visibility.<\/p><p>MacDonald donned cow-print pants and a shirt embellished with a heart that read, &ldquo;Cabot farmers sent us to thank you&rdquo; during her presentation last week at UMW. The talk, titled &nbsp;&ldquo;Dancing Among Giants,&rdquo; centered on a small, award-winning dairy farm and co-operative prosperously competing with large corporations. MacDonald left students asking themselves how they, too, can do what they love and use their skillsets in an impactful way.<\/p><p>She stressed the importance of volunteering, which helped her become the person she is today.<\/p><p>&ldquo;I realize that there are some classes you have to take that you don&rsquo;t love,&rdquo; said MacDonald, &ldquo;but after the grind &hellip; do what you love, do what complements your business and your team&rsquo;s passion.&rdquo;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alumna Roberta MacDonald credits the University of Mary Washington with giving her the tools it took to help launch her extraordinary 40-year marketing career.
