Welcome StringCan’s New Account Manager - Eleana Cox

Background:

‍

How would you describe your personality in 5 words or less?

Witty, introspective, curious, reserved, thoughtful

‍

Tell us a little about yourself! Where are you from and what’s your story?

I’m originally from Michigan and the oldest of three girls. I swam competitively all through high school and continued for two years in college. I am also 100% Polish - so much so that I can sing “Happy Birthday” in the language as well. I have called Arizona home for the last 14 years. I have 2 boys who love to play ice hockey which is strange to play hockey in the desert but they love it.

‍

How did you get your first name?

It is a combination of my paternal and maternal grandmother's names (Eleanor and Helen) and my middle name comes from my mothers name, Anne Marie.

‍

What can we find you doing outside of the office? What are your passions? 

Outside the office, I love spending time with my two boys, whether it's playing games, doing puzzles, or just being active together. I am passionate about staying fit and enjoy working out regularly. Cooking and baking are also big hobbies of mine, especially when I can share my results with my family. I am a fan of board games, and always look forward to relaxing with a glass of wine. Trying new restaurants and exploring different cuisines is one of my favorite ways to unwind and discover new flavors. My music varies but my top favorite is country.

‍

My Vision Board

My vision board reflects the goals and aspirations I hope to achieve over the next year. I want to focus on personal growth—focusing on activities that bring me joy, while also challenging myself to explore new experiences. This includes continuing to grow in my career, but also in my personal life. I plan to prioritize my well-being by reading more, listening to podcasts, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle through regular workouts, time spent outdoors, and finding balance in my daily routine. Travel is also a big goal for me this year, whether it's visiting family or exploring new places like Amsterdam and the Christmas markets in Germany, which I've always dreamed of seeing. Additionally, I aim to start investing in the stock market to build a financially secure future for myself and my children.

Fun:

‍

If you could choose anyone, who would you pick as your mentor?

I would choose Nelson Mandela. He taught others that even in the most difficult circumstances, it’s possible to maintain integrity, fight for justice, and bring about positive change, all while embracing humility and reconciliation. His example inspires me to stay committed to my values and lead with compassion which I believe that we as a society have gotten away from.

‍

What are your plans for this holiday/weekend?

For the Thanksgiving holiday I will be going out to Dallas to spend time with my sisters, brother-in-law, nieces and nephew.

‍

If you were reincarnated as an animal/drink/ice cream flavor, what would it be?

If I were reincarnated as an animal, I’d choose to be a dolphin. I’ve always loved swimming and feel a deep connection to the ocean. There’s something about the way dolphins move through the water that resonates with me, and I admire their intelligence and playfulness. Plus, I love the idea of being part of a pod—there’s something special about the sense of family and community they share. 

‍

If you could travel anywhere in the world right now where would you go and what would you do?

Australia has ALWAYS been on my bucket list. So I would go to Sydney and do the opera house and walk the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge.

‍

You just won a million dollars, what is the most irresponsible purchase you’re going to make?

I would take a month off from work and travel throughout Europe. 

‍

What’s your latest streaming video binge?

Tell Me Lies on Hulu

‍

What’s your favorite YouTube video and why?

I do not have a favorite YouTube video but I do have a funny Instagram video that makes me laugh every time I see it come across my feed. 

‍

‍

Business:

‍

What are you most looking forward to by working at StringCan?

I am looking forward to the strategy and collaboration portion.

‍

What will clients enjoy most about working with you?

Clients will enjoy how attentive I am to the details, not just in the work itself, but also in our conversations. I focus on making them feel valued and understood, treating them as more than just clients. By taking the time to listen and connect on a personal level, I aim to build strong, trusting relationships that make the experience feel more collaborative and meaningful.

‍

How do you plan on making a difference for StringCan and for our clients?

I plan on making a difference for StringCan by providing an enthusiastic attitude every day and bringing that same enthusiasm to client calls as well. 

‍

What do results mean to you?

To me, results are all about growth and learning. When I see results, I view them as a reflection of how much I’ve learned along the way, whether it’s from successes or setbacks. Achieving a goal means I've gained new skills, adapted my approach, and improved myself in some way. Even if the result isn't exactly what I hoped for, I still value the insights I’ve gained and the opportunity to grow from the experience. In this way, results are not just outcomes—they’re milestones that show my continuous evolution

‍

What is your proudest accomplishment and why?

One of my proudest accomplishments is watching my two boys grow into kind, curious, and hardworking individuals. Seeing their unique talents develop, their love for learning, and the way they support each other fills me with immense pride.
