My three goals for 2016

1. Serve as a mentor to young professionals new to association management.

2. Be more consistent with running and working out.

3. Take a class for enjoyment on something not related to associations.

On my desk right now

Water bottle, 2015 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report, SIR Volunteer Spotlight publication, business cards from everyone I met during the ASAE Annual Meeting in Detroit

Who I’m following on Twitter

The best advice I ever got

To work hard, know when to ask for help, and always be willing to learn from your mistakes.

My favorite blogs

I am a blog junkie, but a few of my favorites are The Everygirl, Camille Styles, and Crepes of Wrath.

What I do when I’m not at work

Enjoy time with my husband and our two English Bulldogs, visit local wineries, and entertain friends.

If I weren’t doing this, I’d …

…be an interior designer or Realtor. I check real estate listings daily.

My media mix

Music: I couldn’t live without Pandora.

TV Shows: The Blacklist, Nashville, Scandal

Books: I’m currently reading Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don’t by Simon Sinek.
