I started twenty-five years ago for a company that was eventually acquired by what would become Weber Shandwick. I was the on-site PR manager for the New Jersey Division of Travel and Tourism. Really, New Jersey Tourism. There’s a lot to do and see!

The reason I am here.

People from diverse backgrounds collaborating to create something great. Team members who had a rocky first chapter finding their groove and go on to soar. Colleagues supporting each other – in big and small ways – through hard times. Honestly, it’s a great place and I’m reminded of that often.

Be a novelist or a screenwriter.

Lead through the work. It’s one of the many things I learned from our former CEO, Gail.

My kids. At 16, my daughter is a force with fierce determination, unwavering conviction and vast interests. At 11, my son is already learning to go deep, get lost and find joys in his passions.

Just spending time with family … which usually involves watching my kids play sports.

GPS. I have zero sense of direction. Zero. The prevalence of the GPS has changed my life.
