Do you enjoy what you do? Why?
Yes! I love how the internet has created a global community, and working with social media is a direct way to interact with this community. It is so fulfilling to be able to connect with fans of a brand, as well as make new ones as we grow pages on social media.

Why did you select this area of work?
For starters, because there is little to no math involved. Originally, I was interested in social media because I love writing, and I think working in social is a fun and modern way to write.

Who has influenced your life most?
My father. He always encouraged me to follow my passion, and he also inspires me to work hard, and take time to enjoy life along the way.

What would you say is your strongest characteristic?
I am a creative thinker, always trying to think of ways that we can stand out from the rest.

What achievement are you most proud of?
Being the reigning trivia champion at Emerson 109 Pub.

Your biggest pet peeve at work?
People taking social media marketing/management for granted and thinking that it is easy to do, or not important for their brand.

When you have a bad day, what makes you happy?
Cuddling with my 2 kittens, and reading a good book to distract me!

Who would you swap places with for one day?
Stormi Webster, Kylie Jenner's daughter. It would be nice to take a break for a day and just be a pampered baby!
