Describe your ideal Saturday!
Spending the day outside doing just about anything – hiking, biking, being at the beach, swimming…
Is there a particular project or work product you are most proud of?
A while back I worked on a program with Bayer Healthcare, Feeding America and Sheryl Crow. It was a big program that went very well – it included in-store activations, online support, a big PR kick-off event and a food donation drive. (Check out some of the Sassafras team’s amazing work here!)
Name an interesting thing about yourself that others might not know.
I lived in England for 6 months working at a university.
Who is your hero and why?
My dad, he never judges anyone, always has a positive attitude, he ran a successful business and provided for our family.
What do you like most about working at Sassafras?
I love working at Sassafras. The team of people are fantastic and are a pleasure to work with. The work is fun and is always new and exciting.
Your hometown postcard—what’s on it?
A picture of the beach and Stew Leonard’s
What book are you reading right now?
I just started reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. It’s not a light, beach read but I’m finding it really interesting.
What is your favorite website or app?
Amazon.com – I love the convenience of buying anything I need at any time and having it delivered in 2 days.
You’re leaving town for a very, very long time…where would you dine for your last meal and what would you eat?
Le Bistro in Roswell. It’s a super cozy French place that has a killer spinach and egg salad with warm bacon dressing and French bread, of course – yummy!
