What is your title and primary responsibility at Brokers Alliance?

I am the Marketing Development Manager at Brokers Alliance. My responsibilities include managing our email marketing, social media activity, and print advertising in addition to coordinating training opportunities for our agents. I love that there is always something new and exciting in development for our agents to take advantage of.

Tell us about your hometown and family:

I am originally from Maine. I moved to Arizona in 2009. Most of my family is still back east but I love living out here.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

For sure raising my son, Evan, to be this smart, independent young person with an amazing sense of humor. Now if I could just get him to brush his teeth without being reminded 15 times...

At the end of your workday, how do you measure if it has been a success?

If I was able to provide support to coworkers and our agents by providing the tools and resources they need for success, then that is a good day.

If you could meet any one person, living or dead, at Starbucks for a coffee, who would it be and why?

I think I would meet Hunter Thompson. I’m not great at small talk so I’d love to be able to just sit and listen to him ramble. I think that would be incredibly entertaining.

What are the top three items on your bucket list?

Lay on a beach in Thailand, hike the Appalachian Trail, and visit the Badlands.

What would be your “walk-up song”?

Pepper by the Butthole Surfers

Tell us about your hometown and family:?

I’m lucky enough to say that I have two hometowns. I was born and raised just outside of Portland, OR in a small town called Camas. That’s where I learned how to ride a bike, got started in gymnastics, and went to my first school dance. Then, my family moved to Augusta, GA when I was 15 years old. There I had my really formative years finishing up high school and college. Both are very different from the other, but I feel fortunate that I got to experience such different regions as a kid and young adult. My family is very close. In fact, my parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles, and my sister’s family all live in Phoenix so we get to hang out together often.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

My proudest accomplishment was back when I was a gymnast in high school. Gymnastics is really a sport of mind-over-matter, in most cases. I used to be terrified of the roundoff backhandspring. My coach worked with me for HOURS to help me get over my fear of flying backwards head first. He would have me practice on the trampoline and would pile countless mats on the floor to protect me from a fall. One day he told me, “If you let the fear get the best of you, you’ll get stuck. You won’t ever grow. It starts in your head first with your mentality, the physical part will follow.” That inspired me enough to give the backhandspring a try without any mats or spotters. I’ll admit it wasn’t perfect, but I never felt more proud than when my coach ran over and hugged me to congratulate me on conquering my fear.

At the end of your workday, how do you measure if it has been a success?

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good ol’ fashioned to-do list that is completely checked-off by the end of the day. But, sometimes the workday doesn’t go to plan. As long as I did my tasks to the best of my ability, helped my team work towards our goal, and kept a positive attitude, I feel successful...even if my to-do list is only partially complete.

If you could meet any one person, living or dead, at Starbucks for a coffee, who would it be and why?

Without a doubt I would want to meet Dolly Parton for a cup of coffee and some wildly funny conversation. She probably has the best stories. I’d also want to ask her about her secret tattoos that she tries to cover up with arm-length gloves. Google it!

What are the top three items on your bucket list?

1.Buy my Mom a llama ranch so she can spend the rest of her days with her favorite animal. 2.Ask Dolly Parton about her tattoos. 3.Get verified on Twitter (I’m coming for you, you little blue checkmark!)

What would be your “walk-up song”?

“Stand Out” by Powerline from the greatest movie ever made: A Goofy Movie. This overly-produced, 90’s gem stands the test of time. Fog machine is recommended, but not required.”.
