About Me:
Married to my best friend, Brian, for 10 years and mother of three kids (Maya, 6) (Nate & Jack, 2 year old twins). I’m a neat-freak (considered an extremist by some) when it comes to having my house in order, which doesn’t exactly mesh with having three kids, two of whom are nick-named “destructor”.
I am undoubtedly a Type “A” personality. I have to be busy and moving at all times, otherwise narcolepsy takes over. While I like sleep, it happens only after the house is picked up, work is complete, kids are in bed, phone cocktails with a friend and the latest celebrity gossip on TMZ is watched.
My Job:
I love what I do for a living, and I believe I am one of the lucky few who can say that and truly mean it. On top of that, I actually have a career in the field in which I earned my degree. Well, it was either communications or occupational therapy. Since I am told I have very little patience, I think my choice worked out best for everyone.
I like my job for many reasons. I love to write. I love to problem solve. And, I love a good challenge. Granted, marketing is not the most important job and it won’t solve the world’s problems, but I’d like to think my work matters to someone.
