A Career and an Education

Brianna Hanson, the Marketing Manager at ORC, is an interesting and personable young woman, but also very driven. Already, she has worked as a manager for a real-estate company in Washington and Oregon, and for a Senator in Washington DC, where she met her husband. However, when Brianna moved with her husband back to Coos Bay two years ago to be close to her husband’s family, she thought she was giving up on her education and career. For her, the prospect of losing the opportunities for personal advancement was the hardest part about the move to Coos Bay.

“When I began to hear about ORC, I wanted to find employment with them. I saw this company as a great opportunity,” she said. She began with managing the incoming shipments outside, but gradually gained responsibility. “What’s great about working for ORC is if you’re doing a good job, they’ll really take notice and reward your work,” she said. And her strong work ethic and personal drive has truly paid off. Now, she not only has a senior position within the staff as the Marketing Manager, but she is also working towards a graduate degree. “ORC is helping me to get a Masters in Science and Technology Communication,” she said with excitement. Recently, Brianna attended GIFA in Germany, one of the largest foundry conventions in the world, representing ORC and networking with international businesses.

Many of the people who work with Brianna will rave about her hardworking habits and intelligence. Yet Brianna is overwhelmingly grateful for the opportunity to work with ORC.  “I never thought I would be getting a masters education or having an exciting and challenging career,” she said. “It’s just such a blessing.”
