A typical day in my life includes…
I’m big on routines and do my best to maintain them when I’m not traveling. I’m the crazy person at the gym by 6 am. I drink a green superfood hemp protein smoothie immediately after my workout. I walk to work most days (yes, even during the MN winter). I drink black coffee once I get to the office. I bring my own lunch almost every day, and it’s typically a salad of some sort. I usually have a water bottle with me at all times.
Like any account manager in the ad world, no day is the same but it typically consists of emailing, attending meetings, fielding phone calls, answering the never-ending stream of questions from the creative team, and trying to maintain my sanity while being pulled in a million directions.
I was born…
on the same day as my identical twin sister.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the consistently beautiful weather, and my hair appreciates the humidity-free climate.
I’m listening to…
I’m all over the board most days. I go from listening to Beyonce, Drake, Chance the Rapper, and Childish Gambino to The 1975, The Summer Set, American Authors, and Bieber. I frequently throw it back to 90s and 00s hip hop, rap and RnB. And I never listen to country, if I can help it.
My family…
believes in me unconditionally. They are my cheerleaders.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Malcolm Gladwell and/or Michael Jordan.
One thing I cannot live without…
a camera. Pictures are the tangible memories of some of life’s best moments.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
Ashley Olsen. Duh.
I’m inspired by…
small business owners.
The one person who motivates me is…
Shawn Stevenson from The Model Health Show.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
give everyone access to clean water.
The perfect day would be…
nothing beats summertime in Minnesota. Hanging out at the lake with all my favorite people would be the ultimate. Throw in a killer playlist, a spicy Bloody Mary and chips & guac and it’s the best day ever.
My first job was…
Telemarketer. I was 16. My dad made me do it because I didn’t have anything else lined up for the summer. I lasted two weeks before finding a job at gas station deli where I learned how to make stuffed crust pizza like a boss.
My favorite escape…
the balcony off my bedroom that’s overlooking the Mississippi River.
My life…
tends to look cooler on Instagram. Isn’t that what social media is for?
I’m currently working on…
finishing the mother of all house remodel projects with my boyfriend.
Always…
keep your soul on the agenda.
Never…
forget where you came from.
Favorite Quote…
“It’s what you do every day that makes a difference, not what you do every once in a while.” – Gretchen Rubin
Biggest Dream…
I’m a restless soul. I have a lot of dreams and they change frequently, but a few of the constant ones are: Take my parents and boyfriend to Paris to show them where I lived in college. Go sailing on the Mediterranean Sea. Help plant a community garden on another continent.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
flaky people. If you say you’re going to do something, do it.
