On her current assignment

I love my job. I love doing great work for our clients, and fostering a collaborative environment at the agency. I enjoy the challenge and fast pace of our business. For as long as I can remember, I like to do that which no one thinks can be done. More than that, I like to do it better than anyone expects it can be done. We do quite a lot of that here. We provide a level of customer service and responsiveness for our clients that is truly unmatched in the industry. I was taught to strive for excellence in everything I do. dgs is no exception.

On what it’s like to work at dgs

Put simply, never a dull moment. That’s the beauty and challenge of it. Our days are completely unpredictable, and we thrive in that environment. Additionally, because we are so focused, we have become true experts in what we do. However, without question, the agency’s best asset is our team of people. They are smart, talented, visionary marketers with an eye for greatness. More than that, they are altogether interesting and wonderful people.

On life outside of work

To me, the most precious thing in life is family. Above all, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful husband, family and friends. We love animals, and have two Siberian Huskys, Linus and Rufus. Outside of family, friends and work, I enjoy reading, writing, detective/true crime television, anything on the History Channel or NatGeo, wine and sports – particularly the Green Bay Packers (Super Bowl XLV Champs) and Detroit Tigers. I love running, and recently completed my second half-marathon, and hope to eventually tackle 26.2. I also have a very dangerous penchant for shoes and bags. Very dangerous.
