A little more about me.

A question often asked is “where are you from?”

Seems simple, until you ask me. My family and I have found our home in the high desert of Bend, Oregon—though I’ve spent most of my professional career in Phoenix. I was born in California and growing up, I lived in Nevada, Texas, Nebraska and Missouri. And no, my dad was not in the military—he was a banker. Each place I’ve lived has gifted me with a different perspective and has shaped me as a person.

My home—Bend, Oregon, with Hula, who desperately needs to learn how to walk on a leash.

My parents thought that I would thrive at one of two things—a cast member on Saturday Night Live, or a marketing professional. I opted for the latter, though that does not stop them from making me the comedic entertainment at family reunions.

Puzzles and my family are my jam.

I’m outgoing, funny and passionate, but my coworkers would describe me as type A, efficient and attentive to details. I enjoy being organized both personally and professionally (and will gladly organize your closet with Marie Kondo precisions if you ask, and possibly even if you don’t).
