Annie, IT Project Manager

What is your favorite part about working at FYE? 

The people I work with! It’s a lot of fun to be a part of this team. I’m also a huge fan of all things entertainment and pop culture so I enjoy the products we sell. My desk looks like a toy chest and I love it!

What music are you blasting in the car on your way to work or what do you listen to that puts you in your happy place?

I’ve had the band Charly Bliss on repeat for months now and only take breaks to listen to theme park podcasts (it’s a thing!). I’m basically either belting along to “Young Enough” or learning weird facts about Disney World.

What’s your all-time favorite item that you have gotten from FYE?

I can’t stress this enough: Violet Mountain Dew.

What female superhero (or villain) would you cast to play you in your autobiographical movie and why?

Buffy Summers (the Vampire Slayer). Hands down. She’s a total badass and is unapologetic about it. That’s how it should be.

What makes you feel confident?

The women in my life. I’ve been lucky enough to collect a group of amazingly strong, creative, talented, intelligent, supportive women who I’m proud to call my friends. Knowing they’re in my corner is incredibly powerful and means the world to me. Honorable mention: a rad pair of shoes never hurts.

What is the one piece of advice that you have learned in your career that you would pass along?

Don’t make yourself smaller in order to let others feel bigger. You deserve to be heard and to take up space. It’s crucial to believe in your skills and your ideas and your talent even when – especially when – others might not. It took me a while to truly understand this, but I’m so happy that I do now.
