What’s something people would be surprised to learn about you?
How much I love to read! I must pace myself in between fictional series or else I have no social life until it’s finished. It gets obsessive and I literally can’t put it down—which sadly, I have always been like this—I used to get in trouble in school for reading my books under my desk during math class.
What’s one thing you’re working on right now that excites you?
I am starting to get involved with volunteering at local non-profits and focusing on giving back to the community more. I grew up volunteering my whole adolescence but when I was in college and just graduated, I felt like I never had enough time to do everything I needed/wanted to get done. Now that I have more of a work/life balance I am so excited to start spending time volunteering again, it’s been a huge passion of mine!
What’s one item on your 2025 bucket list—personal or professional?
Mastering our AI chatbot, and just AI in general! It’s been a steep learning curve figuring out how to automate/optimize it, but the future is clearly AI. I’m really inspired to learn all the new ways to integrate AI with marketing.
Who is a local mentor, friend, or role model who inspires you?
My mother. Watching her grow a non-profit from the ground up into raising millions for childhood cancer research all while raising me and my brother has always set such a high standard for me professionally. She is the first person I call for any professional advice, she reminds me to be a student of life, she continually encourages me to give back to the community and constantly sets the unmatched benchmark with her work ethic.
How do you define success for yourself right now?
Success used to equate to a dollar amount to me, but now I scale success on who I have helped/supported and the community I create both professionally and personally. If the people I surround myself with can say that I push them to be better people—that’s what truly matters to me. That means I’m doing something right.
