Q: Where would you like to live? A: Nashville, TN! There is no place I would rather live. Nashville is such an exciting city to live in right now. There so many distinct neighborhoods with fun shops and restaurants; you can find really good live music 24/7; it's a great place to raise a family; and, of course, there are a great group of legal marketers who work here!
Q: What is your idea of happiness? A: I just got back from Italy, so I am still daydreaming about the trip. Happiness to me is sitting down with my husband at 5:00 in an Italian café to enjoy an aperitif (or two) while we talk about the day and enjoy people watching in a beautiful city.
Q: Finish this sentence, "If I could have one super-power, it would be..." A: Mind reading! I almost majored in psychology and still have an intense interest in what motivates people. Like many of us, I have taken the DiSC a multitude of times and I get so excited every time I have to take it again - not because I want to know my results, but because I love to learn other people's results and their approach to certain situations. (In case you are wondering, I am a D... weird, right?)
Q: What got you into working in the legal industry? A: I started my career selling advertising to law firms for the Nashville Business Journal. The paper provided outstanding sales training that taught a consultative approach not only winning new business but also how to grow and retain it. At that job I learned about legal marketing because I was required to gain a deep understanding of the industries I served. The sales training from that job provided the foundation for how I approach much of my job today both internally and externally.
Q: Your favorite virtue? A: Authenticity - The people for whom I have the most respect are those who are authentic in their interactions with others. A lot of people in business get ahead by taking an interest in those whom they view as having something to offer. I really respect those who take an interest in individuals regardless of what they have to offer.
