Describe a typical "day in the life" in your role.

"I get to work with smart, passionate people to analyze

customer trends and develop content and partnerships across owned and paid channels in the homewares industry. The best thing about my job is working with different people every day and the fact that no day is like the last."

What career milestone or work-related achievement are you most proud of?

"Easy! It would be the 2020 partnership with Dr. Jane Goodall. What a wonderful way to bring to life the love and curiosity of animals with such an important, iconic female activist in a kids collaboration. Once, on a video call with my teammates and Dr. Goodall, she asked to meet all of our kids and animals. (That's right—our kids and animals!) My 3-year-old daughter, Savannah, met Dr. Goodall, and she said, 'That's the lady that saves the animals!' I had to turn my camera off as I teared up."

What career advice do you have for younger women looking to enter your field?

"Be curious and passionate, and let those two energies play together. There are so many different aspects of marketing, and it's always evolving, so you need to have drive. Between multiple assignments, crazy hours, and access to a lot of fun events, working in this industry is not always easy. But stick with it. It is rewarding, and I always feel like I'm growing as a professional, co-worker, and mom."

Describe your previous work-from-home setup.

"I live with my husband, three kids, and pitbull-boxer rescue. When the pandemic started, I was working out of our bedroom, my kids were in the living room downstairs, and my husband worked in my son Preston’s room. I needed a better solution to separate work from family time. We had an unfinished attic in our old farmhouse, and I decided to make the space usable."
