I joined the Thos. Somerville Co. in the Spring of 2015 as the
Marketing and Communications Associate. I received my bachelor’s
in Business Communication from Stevenson University (right near
the Owings Mills branch!). I currently attend Bowie State University
getting my Master’s in Organizational Communication, on track to
graduate in December 2016.
Before coming to Somerville, I was a Marketing Associate for a
litigation support firm in DC. I learned about Somerville through a
recruiter via Craiglist. What attracted to me to the company was how
long they’ve been in business and how long most employees have
worked here.
My favorite thing about working for Somerville is how willing
everyone is to help if you have a problem and how grateful they are if you help them solve theirs!
The funniest story I’ve shared with family or friends about work would be from the annual meeting: the
‘Old Executives’ photo and just how good of a time everyone was having.

For fun, I like going to the beach, art shows, museums and travelling specifically for good food. Something
unique my co-workers not know about me is I was born with a hole in my heart (don’t worry, it’s all closed up
now…I think…) So far my greatest accomplishment in life has been graduating from college and getting into
the ONLY grad school program I applied to. I’m also a loyal redskins and nationals fan.
In Iyana’s first year with Somerville she has successfully designed the new logo for The Somerville Bath &
Kitchen Store, among several other accomplishments.
