Working in entertainment merchandising and collaborating with the vendor community, as well as my colleagues, to develop new and fun product. There is something rewarding about seeing all your efforts transpire into merchandise sitting on a shelf in a store.

I like a little bit of everything, but typically find myself listening to Country.
What’s your all-time favorite item that you have gotten from FYE?
That’s a tough one. My kids love all the L.O.L Dolls and LEGO’s, but I just bought myself a couple of really soft lounge sweatshirts which I’m super excited to try!
What female superhero (or villain) would you cast to play you in your autobiographical movie and why?
I’d love to say Wonder Woman. She’s badass!
What makes you feel confident?
Definitely a new outfit or a good pair of shoes!

Dedication and perseverance will get you a long way.
