My place of birth is:
Somerset, New Jersey
The last album I played on Spotify:
Hamilton: An American Musical
The last good book I read was:
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins (and I can't wait for the movie!)
I'm currently binge watching:
NCIS (all 13 previous seasons - talk about a big commitment)
Device I couldn't live without:
iPhone
My greatest accomplishment outside my profession:
Touring Europe with an international youth symphony orchestra when I was 15 years old; I played string bass.
The reason I got into advertising/marketing:
I liked to "make things pretty" and I was good with computers. I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up so when searching for colleges, my mom stumbled on to the VCT program at Bowling Green State University. And the rest is history.
Biggest influences on me professionally:
My awesome coworkers. They continue to help me grow and learn every day ... And they put up with me five days a week.
When I'm not working, I like to:
Spend time with my furbaby, Rosie. She's a 4 year old Boston Terrier/Bulldog mix and we like to hang out at Glass City Dog Park.
Best thing about being an AAF Toledo member:
The people. It's energizing to be around so many creative people doing great work in our community.

How to Submit a Guest Blog Post to AAF Toledo
The ideal length for a post is between 850 and 1,000 words and must not have been previously published.
Come up with a great idea. To be considered, AAFTOL blog topics should be related to advertising, marketing and communications. Write something that you would want to read yourself.
Send a proposal. Send a brief proposal to director@aaftoledo.org. Please do not send the full article. Keep it brief: a tentative headline; two or three sentences explaining what the blog will be about; and one sentence saying why you are qualified to write it. Based on this proposal AAFTOL will let you know within three business days whether to submit the article.
Write with the reader in mind. Writing for the web is different from writing for print. The best way to organize the piece is to start with a brief set-up that hooks the reader. Then organize the rest in segments. Assume the reader is busy and has a short attention span. Short paragraphs and headings within the article make it easier to read.
Include a brief bio at the top. Your name; the name of your company (with a link to your website); and if you've written a book relevant to the article, the title of that book with a link to the Amazon page or to your website if the book is available for sale there. If you tweet, please indicate that, and include a link to your Twitter profile page.
Submit the completed article. Please submit your final version by pasting into the body of an e-mail, or attach it as a Microsoft word document. Your submission will be reviewed by AAFTOL editorial board. If we have any questions, comments or concerns, we will contact you.
What happens next? AAFTOL will acknowledge receipt of the blog within 24 hours, and let you know within a week whether it has been accepted for publication. If it is, AAFTOL reserves the right to edit the article, including changes in the text, subheads and headline, to improve readability and maximize web traffic.
