With its numerous industries to sustain a career and vibrant culture to build a life, Orlando<\/a> isn\u2019t a hard sell. Still, when it comes to promoting all this city has to offer, you\u2019d be hard pressed to find someone who loves it more than Andrea (Rodrigues) Sage \u201912.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The advertising-public relations<\/a> grad spent the last decade in various sales-related positions with the Tampa Bay Rays, Orlando Magic and insulated beverageware company Corkcicle (headquartered in Orlando).<\/p>\n

That experience along with the leadership and life skills she developed at UCF and her beloved hobby as the mastermind behind @cheatdayorlando<\/a> \u2014 an immensely popular social media account that explores new activities, restaurants and happenings in Central Florida \u2014 gave her what she needed to land her dream gig as marketing manager for Visit Orlando.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get to marry my love for this community and something I\u2019m passionate about doing \u2014 marketing this city. It\u2019s perfect for me,\u201d Sage says. \u201cTo find this opportunity with Visit Orlando, it truly has been a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n
