🎉 Celebrating 3 Years of Clinton! 🎉
Clinton brings heart, hustle, and a whole lot of Texas charm to everything he does. Over the past three years, he has built lasting friendships with clients and maintained a positive attitude, even during the hectic convention travels. Here’s our Q&A!

Q: Which state is next on your 50-state bucket list?
A: This was just completed after AONL in Boston. I hit Maine to complete the 50. Now my wife is demanding that I go to Europe.

Q: You’re hosting a backyard BBQ. What’s on the grill, and what’s your secret to getting it just right?
A: As a proud Texan, there has to be Brisket. I love to do ribs as an appetizer.

Q: You’re out fishing on a perfect Saturday — what’s the dream catch, and who’s on the boat with you?
A: My wife is on the boat. Would love to catch a beautiful 10 pound big mouth black bass. HEAVEN!

Q: As a Texas-born and Texas-proud individual who loves to make people smile. What is something that screams ‘Texas’ about your sales style?
A: Texas means “Friendship” and I love making friends with my clients, leads, and other vendors. I think bringing the southern style hospitality to everyday life is just part of who I am.

Q: What’s one thing people are surprised to learn about you?
A: People are always shocked about how much I love to cook. But the one odd fact, is that I ADORE steaming clothes. It is so satisfying.

Q: How would your wife Rachael describe your work-from-home style in 3 words?
A: Obsessive, passionate, and positive. She is a very patient woman, as I take sales very personally…

Q: What’s your personal motto or go-to phrase when work gets hectic?
A: My dad being an ex-marine always taught me to “Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome”. Wins don’t always come easy and you can only control what you can control.

Q: You’ve got 30 minutes to unwind: are you cooking, fishing, or planning your next travel stop, and where to go?
A: I adore cooking, and if all I got is 30 minutes. Let’s make something tasty.

From spreadsheets to screenplays, Heaven Ramirez, our incredible Administrative Analyst & Assistant, brings organization, creativity, and a little movie magic to everything she does. 🎬✨

She’s a film buff, a Corgi lover 🐶, and probably the only person who could turn a to-do list into a plot twist. To celebrate 3 amazing years, we asked her a few fun questions.

Q: If your CareerSmart journey were a movie, what would the title be?
A: Tales From the State

Q: Which movie character do you relate to most, and why?
A: “In high school, Enid Coleslaw from Ghost World felt like looking in a mirror. As I’ve gotten older, I see myself in Kiki from Kiki’s Delivery Service, Wall-E, Elio from Call Me by Your Name, and Mason from Boyhood.”

Q: One film everyone should watch at least once?
A: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Commerce Quay, 1080 Brussels.
“There’s an art to creating tension without explosions or car chases. It can be as simple as a woman overboiling potatoes. It also highlights the invisible nature of feminized labor.”

Q: Your ultimate movie marathon includes...
A: How to Marry a Millionaire, Bottoms, and 9 to 5.
“Fun films with incredible on-screen chemistry between women!”

Q: Go-to comfort movie after a long day?
A: Dumb and Dumber. “And it’s not even close.”

Q: Who would play you in a movie about your life?
A: Aubrey Plaza or Jenna Ortega. Any weird, offbeat Latina will do.

Q: If you could bring a Corgi to work, what would their name be, and what would they do?
A: Ingmar—he’d be chilling at my feet, waiting for me to drop food.

Q: Which movie would be 10x better with a Corgi lead?
A: Elizabethtown. “That film needed a Corgi so badly.”

Q: Dream Corgi movie role?
A: Action film Corgi—John Wick style. 🎬🐾

Q: Would you rather watch your favorite movie with a Corgi or be in it as a Corgi?
A: “Can’t choose—so I say both!”

Q: Favorite Corgi from pop culture?
A; Maxine the Fluffy Corgi. She’s such a queen.

Heaven, thank you for three years of dedication, humor, and heart!

✨ Throwback to 1994 ✨
In honor of Nurses Week, we’re sharing the personal journey of Jennifer Walker, RN and nurse educator.

Pictured here in 1994 at the start of her career, Jennifer began her nursing path with a desire to help others, especially older adults in home care. Her journey has since evolved into educating and inspiring future nurses with the same compassion and dedication.

Just last week, while traveling home from the ANPD convention in Vegas, Jennifer jumped into action at the airport—administering CPR and AED to save someone’s life.

Thank you, Jennifer, and all nurses, for showing up with heart, strength, and humanity every day. 💙

Alan just hit 12 years with us! We caught up with him for a quick Q&A:

Q: Do you remember your first day? What stands out?
Alan: I remember seeing my desk for the first time—it was completely covered in popcorn! Kernels, microwave bags, pre-popped... all because I mentioned popcorn was my favorite food in my interview. It was a unique and thoughtful welcome, and a great intro to the CareerSmart “hugs” culture.

Q: What’s one project or moment you’re most proud of?
Alan: The Ni****ne Dependence course. It was my first big project, and I got to create fun animations showing how ni****ne interacts with brain receptors. I was proud of the content and how engaging it turned out!

Q: What’s your unofficial title at CareerSmart?
Alan: Probably Master of GIFs—a skill I’ve honed. 😄

Q: If CareerSmart made a sitcom about the office, who would play you?
Alan: Maybe Michael Cera? Though I’ve also gotten Zach Braff and Ben Whishaw over the years!

Q: Go-to snack or drink during a long workday?
Alan: Sugary coffee drinks, for sure. I try not to indulge daily, but they’re my favorite way to kick off the morning.

Q: What advice would you give someone in their first year at CareerSmart?
Alan: Lean into the weirdness! Don’t be afraid to ask questions or seek guidance—it’s how you learn and grow here.

Q: What makes CareerSmart feel like home?
Alan: People are encouraged to be themselves, professionally and personally. We’ve got such a wide range of personalities and interests, and that diversity is part of what makes the culture so welcoming.

Q: Any hidden talents or fun facts your coworkers might not know?
Alan: I have a soft spot for bugs. If I find one in the house, I’ll gently es**rt it outside. I even help worms off the sidewalk and into some moist dirt. 🪱

Alan, thank you for twelve years of creativity, kindness, and GIF mastery. We’re lucky to have you on the team!

🐶 “This is fine.”
Meet Biscuit, one of CareerSmart’s honorary team members and certified snort-of-empathy provider. When she visits the office, she offers cuddles and world-class listening skills, reminding us that sometimes, not being fine is perfectly okay.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re getting real about the phrase “I’m fine” and all the ways we downplay our mental health struggles.
Because while humor can be healing (yes, you're allowed to laugh during dark times), it’s not a substitute for therapy, medication, or support.

Check out our latest blog for a mix of stats, support, and sarcasm—with a whole lot of heart:
