WHAT IS USUALLY PLAYING IN YOUR HEADPHONES?
Generally I am rocking out to ‘90s music, which I suppose is considered “old school” music now — The Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, you name it!
WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP?
I went through a few phases. I went from wanting to be a firefighter to a Power Ranger (They were HUGE in the 90s) to a paramedic and a hockey player (Not nearly enough skill, though…).
It wasn’t until my senior year of high school that I became passionate about marketing.
WHAT ARE YOU HAPPIEST DOING, WHEN YOU ARE NOT WORKING?
Playing with my 3 (soon 4!) children. They are constant rays of sunshine and everything in my life revolves around them. When they’re happy, I’m happy!
**It’s worth noting that I am also happiest when they go to bed and I can finally have time to do whatever I want.
WHAT IS YOUR HIDDEN TALENT?
I know an amazing amount of useless knowledge. I’ve been told I should go on Jeopardy!, but there’s no way I’m doing that. Too much pressure!
WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR FAVOURITE QUOTES?
I have a few. The first one is a classic:
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
Wayne Gretzky
Another one I found while reading through HubSpot resonated with me as well because it reinforces one of my marketing thought processes:
“Take a risk and keep testing, because what works today won’t work tomorrow, but what worked yesterday may work again.”
