What would you be doing if you weren't in your current job? Possibly some type of event planning, but anything PR or media relations.
What is currently on your iPod? A mix of stuff; mostly songs that pump me up while I’m working out.
Where is your favorite place to go to relax? The beach — any beach!

What is the first thing you read in the morning? Either my email or Facebook — bad habit!
How did you get into legal marketing? I don’t really know how I got in to legal marketing. I never thought in a million years that I would work at a law firm. I applied for the job for the heck of it (I was looking for a job after graduating college) and I never expected to even get as much as an interview. When I came in for my interview, I loved the culture of Buckingham.
What is the best thing about your job?! I get to do what I love every day and am surrounded by people who appreciate and support me.
What advice would you offer a new entrant to the world of legal marketing? Learn how to de-stress. Take a walk on your lunch, start yoga or working out; find out how you deal with the stress of the legal field.
