What's your favorite thing about serving FCA?
I'm excited to serve on the board after being in FCA for 10 years or so. Working with a great group of people to help recognize the incredible work in our field is why I said "yes."
Which Annual Conference location has been your favorite and why?
I loved experiencing Washington with FCA. From visiting the Newseum to staying late with FCA friends to tour the monuments and museums, it was a great setting for learning and networking.
Who is your professional mentor or role model? What's the most valuable thing you've learned from him or her?
I am fortunate to have an incredible sounding board of people both inside and outside the industry—current and past colleagues, as well as long-time fraternity and PR professionals—that I bounce ideas off of. The most valuable lesson—trust your gut!
What is your dream job (please exclude your current role)?
I'd love to run my own agency one day. I enjoy working with different types of groups with varying needs and problems.
What's your favorite personality quiz and which type are you?
I love StrengthsQuest because it focuses on what you bring to the table instead of starting at a deficit. My top five strengths are Learner, Achiever, Woo, Individualization, and Ideation.
If you had an unlimited budget, where would you host a brainstorming session?
On safari in Africa! A little fear and a little beer would probably produce great results.
What's your MLB walk-out song?
Good As Hell
