Trends and technologies seem to be changing at a faster frequency – I challenge myself to stay at the front end of these innovations.

It has been a great way to meet other people across the advertising/marketing industry.

What’s your favorite event that you’ve been to?
The annual Bootcamps are always great – one had a senior leader from the Chicago Cubs (right after they won the World Series!!)

When researching a topic you know nothing about, how do you get started?
I consider my ability to craft the perfect Google search query on the first try as one of my top skills.

What’s an example of a company/ brand that you think is doing a great job?
Any company that has been able to transition to manufacturing necessities for the COVID pandemic.
