Inside Consumer United :: Bridget O'Sullivan

After working remotely with the content and marketing arm of Consumer United, Bridget O'Sullivan is excited to be back at our Boston-based headquarters on South Street.

Graduating from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland last December, the former intern is back in action... employed full time at Consumer United. "It's amazing to see how much the company has grown in less than two years. The office is full of great energy and talent ... and it's a lot of fun to be here again."

A few of O'Sullivan's responsibilities include collecting and analyzing information on basic-service providers so Consumer United can continue to roll out money-saving deals for its members.

Advice from O'Sullivan? "My favorite personal finance advice is to put all of the money you come across into the bank. You'll be more likely to save it because you have to make that extra effort to take it out again."

Inside Consumer United :: Bridget O'Sullivan

Bridget O'Sullivan joined Consumer United during its infancy in 2007. She works in the marketing department as a communications associate and as a regional blogger for Consumer United Advocate.

Advice from O'Sullivan? "My favorite personal finance advice is to put all of the money you come across into the bank. You'll be more likely to save it because you have to make that extra effort to take it out again."

A strong believer in Consumer United, she notes how the company's membership offers savings on basic services which impacts the group's members where it matters most ... their pocketbooks.

O'Sullivan enjoys reading in her free time and almost always has more than one book open at once which sharpens her writing skills. She likes to paint as well and is a senior at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland.

When asked about her time spent at Consumer United, O'Sullivan adds: "It was amazing to watch (the group) all sit down and puzzle out the solutions to the challenges facing Consumer United in its early days. When it all got started, we worked mostly out of one room and used a white board to lay everything out. Now that those plans are in action, it's great to see the return."
