Just for Fun

When you were younger, what was your dream job? Marketing and communications have always been a field that I was interested in. In college, I wanted Samantha’s job from “Sex and the City.” I enjoy putting myself in the customer’s shoes and figuring out how best to reach them with solutions that can make their lives easier.

What would we most likely find you doing on the weekend? This time of year, our family can typically be found at a local ice rink. My son plays goalie on a hockey team, which my husband coaches. We are also Seattle Kraken season ticket holders. So pretty much all of our time is consumed by hockey.

What’s something that has made you smile recently? We recently took a family trip to Greece for two weeks.
