Fun Facts: Spending time at the beach is one of my favorite ways to relax. I love books, Pilates, travel, all things fashion, and spending time as a family with my husband and 2 grown sons. I have always been obsessed with magazines. After a brief, four-hour realization that my first post-grad role wasn't the right fit, I pivoted quickly and accepted a Marketing Assistant position at a magazine distributor. This was the true starting point of my career.
