WHAT DO YOU DO?
I lead Marketing for Leapfrog Online, one of the largest digital marketing companies in the country.
THE BEST ADVICE YOU EVER RECEIVED?
Know what you know (and what you don’t) so you can deliver information confidently and credibly, regardless of who you’re presenting to.
YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE ON A DAILY BASIS?
Taking time to focus not only on the day-to-day items that drive progress, but also on those that have the potential to drive transformation.
YOUR FAVORITE INDULGENCE?
Dessert of any kind…but ice cream tops the chart as the indulgence that actually gets the most play.
YOUR ADVICE FOR YOUNGER WOMEN?
Take advantage of Chicago’s second-to-none commitment to investing in the next generation of hard working, passionate young technology professionals.
FAVORITE TRAVEL DESTINATION?
In the US, it’s Louisville (my hometown) or San Francisco, which offers my ideal combination of great food, fantastic people, active and healthy lifestyle choices and a technology pulse that never gets old.
