Question and Answer
How long have you worked at Weber Shandwick?
I am a boomerang, having worked in the healthcare practice many years ago. So this is Year 5, even though I just started!
In five words or less, how would you describe your Weber Shandwick colleagues?
Collaborative. Curious. Imaginative. Visionary. Original.
What is the best restaurant / your favorite meal in NY?
An impossible question – it’s like picking a favorite child! I can narrow it down to three: Momofuku Noodle (their famous buns with any kind of filling); Raoul’s (best fries in the world) and Japonica (because sushi).
What’s your passion outside of the workplace? What are three things it has taught you that transfers to the office?
My two boys – my 19 year old son Noah and my 3 year old dog Huxley – keep me happy and on my toes. With my son, I am more observant and open minded to new ideas and experiences. My dog helps me remember to enjoy the day-to-day and appreciate the people I work with.
What is something people may not know about you?
That I fancy myself an amateur bartender. I love to create, mix and, of course, drink interesting cocktails.
What’s the coolest (or weirdest) place a project has taken you?
I absolutely fell I love with the sites, smells and especially the tastes of Hong Kong. Can’t wait to go back and spend more time there.
