Biography
I’m excited to join the Brand Fuel team this year! I’ve been in the promotional products industry for two years and in event management for six years prior to that. I love working with clients and finding creative solutions for their branding and marketing needs.
I grew up in eastern North Carolina, although I’ve been told I’m missing the accent. I moved to Chapel Hill to attend UNC and have stayed in The Triangle area ever since. In my free time, I love facetiming my two nephews, Miles and Galen, reading, becoming absorbed in my latest crafting adventure (knitting, quilting, clay art, jewelry making – if it’s in Michaels, I’ve probably done it), and painting animal portraits – especially my friend’s cat who’s my mews.
Favorite Sports Teams: Tar Heels, Baltimore Ravens. I’m the organizer for the Ravens meetup group in The Triangle. I have choreographed movements to the fight song and everything. Come join, it’s a fun time!
Favorite Quote: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Apparently, this wasn’t Gandhi’s quote but it’s still good.
Favorite Promotional Product and Why: I love Refresh Glass. Their products are functional, aesthetically pleasing and divert would be trash from landfills. I think it’s important the products a brand uses to market itself reflect the values of the company itself.
Favorite Band: Guster
What I do when no one is looking: Sing
Favorite Book: Golden Compass Trilogy
Favorite Artist: Norman Rockwell
Favorite Song: Seasons of Love, Come Downstairs and Say Hello
My Superpower: My mom told me that it is my kindness, so I’ll go with that.
Favorite Condiment: Salsa
Your dinner guest choice: My dad
Favorite B Corp: Raining Rose – They have great hand sanitizers that work well and smell good. The Iced Pear scent is my favorite.
