Where are you from and what brought you to Arizona? Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, my parents moved my family here to Arizona where my grandfather was living when I was 9 years old.
What’s a random unknown fact about you? Little known fact – I’ve been engaged twice. I joke the third time will be the charm, lol.
What are 3 items you can’t live without? Morning almond milk lattes, to-do lists, extensions (both lashes and hair).
Where is your dream vacation location? Honestly, the people I am with and the experiences had are what make a vacation for me, not the location.
What’s your superpower? This is a superpower and a curse, but I seem to be really in-tune with people’s needs and have a compulsion with tending to them immediately. This was a fantastic skill to have as a server in college – people would have their drink refilled before they knew it was empty. Lol. I am also that person to rush to help a random stranger who may be struggling to open a door or something of that nature. But being focused on everyone’s else’s needs so often can be a detriment to my own well-being.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
What community organization are you passionate about and why? There are honestly so many, I can’t pick just one. I really try to help as many local charities as I can, from St. Mary’s Food Bank who help the less fortunate put food on the table, to Amanda’s Hope Rainbow Angels which supports children battling cancer, to Lucky Dog Rescue who saves homeless dogs.
What’s your business? Fabulous Media Group (local online lifestyle magazines: FabulousArizona.com, FabulousWisconsin.com, more to come); Say Less Media (marketing agency)
What makes you and your business different? I genuinely care about the success of my clients and advertisers, as well as the readers of my online magazines. Behind everything I do is about helping others, so building brands and a business with integrity is very important.
How can people support your business or community organizations? Sharing articles from my online magazines that you find interesting or helpful is always nice to help generate more awareness for this resource.
