Buffs Hiring Buffs
Alexandra Lemlein
For Alexandra Lemlein (Comm, Soc’09), Buffs come first.
As a student she helped coordinate events for the ŷڱƵ Boulder Alumni Association, was a member of the Sigma Rho Lambda sorority and played intramural volleyball. After graduation, she moved to New York City and became vice president of the area’s Forever Buffs alumni chapter for six years.
Soon, she began expanding her professional network with Buffs by serving as a student mentor and participating in the Buffs Hire Buffs recruiting reception.
“Having something in common with someone such as being an alum of ŷڱƵ Boulder is a natural way to start a conversation and connect,” said Lemlein. “I love networking with people and especially helping fellow alums with their job search. I’ve had many people help me over the years and it’s important to help others and pay it forward.”
Now she’s helped a young alumna get a job.
Lemlein is a senior B2B marketing manager for Tubi, a streaming service owned by Fox Corporation. In January 2023, she met Cayla Seligman (Bus, Mktg’19) on the Forever Buffs Network while looking to meet more Buffs. The network, which functions like a LinkedIn for ŷڱƵ Boulder alumni, helps students and alumni connect over their shared ŷڱƵ experiences and seek professional advice.
Cayla Seligman
Within a couple of weeks, she recommended Seligman for a TV specialist position at Tubi.
“Cayla reached out to me and we chatted on the phone,” said Lemlein. “I was impressed with her eagerness. I understood what it’s like to want to move to NYC and start a great career.”
Tubi hired her in March, and Seligman moved to New York City from Portland, Oregon.
“Find an advocate who keeps you in mind for new opportunities,” Seligman said earlier this year. “They immediately think of your name first.”
