Carly also had the opportunity to drive the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile across the United States, where she was able to connect with customers in-person throughout the country. She currently works as an account manager at a marketing agency and writes for Mashed in her free time. If she's not online, you can find her hiking, hammocking, or trying a new local restaurant.
