On to the Spotlight questions…

  • Five words that best describe you: OK I asked around for answers on this one! I got “trustworthy,” “even-tempered,” and “introspective.” I guess I would also add loyal and compassionate.
  • What clubs or sports teams did you participate in in high school? I was in the ski and yearbook clubs, and I wrote for our school newspaper. I was also a competitive majorette (baton twirler).
  • What’s your favorite sports team? The Pittsburgh Steelers.
  • List five websites you visit most: Washingtonian, Amazon, Pinterest, Facebook and the Animal Rescue Site (click to give FREE food and care at http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/)
  • What brought you to the DC area? I had been obsessed with moving to the DC area since I first saw St. Elmo’s Fire, which was set in Georgetown! I started sending resumes down here my senior year of college, and fortunately landed a job offer soon after graduation. The fact that I had some college friends moving here and relatives already living in the area made the locale all the more appealing.
  • What organizations do you support? The Animal Welfare League of Arlington, Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation, American Diabetes Association, American Lung Association, and the American Red Cross.
  • Describe your perfect Saturday. Coffee from Caribou and a late breakfast at the Silver Diner, a long afternoon hike with my dog and my boyfriend, and an evening spent with good friends, food and wine. Or, in an alternative scenario, an evening out at the Shakespeare Theater or the Kennedy Center. 
  • What book is currently on your nightstand? Finishing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - just in time to see the movie. 
  • What is your favorite TV show? Modern Family, Mad Men and American Horror Story.
  • Share one to-do that ranks high on your “bucket list”.  Ziplining! Ideally through a tropical rain forest in Costa Rica.  There may or may not be a waterfall involved.  
  • What’s your favorite local lunch spot? Carlyle. The Crispy Two Noodle Shrimp Salad completes me.   
  • Why do you work at TLC? Working at TLC allows me to indulge my passion for creativity, philanthropy and the arts in an environment that is welcoming, encouraging, and motivating. I was particularly drawn to the company’s strong emphasis on capturing the unique voice of each client, and communicating their vision in a distinct and compelling way. I also love TLC’s philosophy on “giving back” to the community.
