Ones to Watch Fall 2022: Rebecca Long, Anchin

Rebecca Long
Senior Manager
Anchin

What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? Most recently, I have become more involved with the new business process. I have had the opportunity to meet with potential clients, which has given me the platform to showcase my industry experience while enabling them to learn more about Anchin and how we could be of great value to their firm. Many of these prospects have turned into clients, which has provided me with a hands-on learning experience and has made me feel accomplished in my career path.

Tell us about a mentor or role model that has influenced your career choices? My grandma has always been my biggest role model. She has always been an advocate for working hard and has instilled in me the value of dedicating yourself to your work. I have learned the harder I work, the bigger I find the reward to be and the greater appreciation I have for my clients and my field of work.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not working? I very much enjoy traveling. I find it very rewarding to learn about other cultures. When I travel, I like to immerse myself in the local food and transition into their way of life as this has taught me to understand other viewpoints and better appreciate my own values and heritage.
