Name one thing most people don’t know about you.
At age five, I surprised my parents and a room filled with several hundred people when I told them I wanted to be a nun when I grew up. Obviously, my career as a communications professional was a close second?

What is your favorite food?
My partner can attest – I’m largely non partial when it comes to food.
Describe your perfect client.
One that views us as a true extension of their team, and values collaboration and creative thinking.
What three hobbies or activities do you enjoy most?
Traveling and theatre, but most importantly spending time with my family.
What’s your favorite part of the workday?
The start of a new day. Opportunities abound!
Who would play you in the movie version of your life?
I’d cast Abbi Jacobson or Carrie Brownstein – definitely a leading lady of comedy.
What is your favorite quote?
Nearly every day as a child my father would send me off to school and repeat this quote: “Good, better, best. Never let it rest. ‘Til your good is your better and your better is your best.”
I live my life by it.
