What do you like most about your job?
I love that marketing demands both creativity and strategy.
Where did you work before this?
Most recently, I worked for a national arts nonprofit.
What was your first job?
I was a shopping mall Easter bunny. (Sounds like a 50s horror movie!)
What did you learn at your first job?
In the locker room in-between shifts, the bunny who preceded me shared that if you put folded-up washcloths on your shoulders, the giant plastic head wouldn’t dig into them so much. Turns out that people who have more experience than you do often have valuable insights to share.
Has your career path gone the way you expected?
Not at all! And I’m glad. If it had gone exactly as I’d planned when I was younger, life probably would have been a lot less interesting and expansive.
Fun fact:
I’m an animal-lover and have been vegan since 2006.
