[gap]How did you get into the tanning industry?
I had a rather serendipitous introduction to the business through the highly-respected former executive marketing director at JK North America. We were acquainted outside of work through various community activities. When I was ready to move on from traditional sales management into a more challenging role, I found a great fit with JK.
[gap]What is the best thing about your job?
I get the opportunity to work with the best in our industry; observe their practices and learn from their strategies. I really enjoy building relationships and working through the outreach process, as well. My job is very diverse and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I spend a lot of time on the road, face-to-face with our valued customers. Their energy and motivation inspires me.

What do you do in your spare time?
Spare time … what’s that? In the fall of 2015, I was accepted to the Executive MBA Program at the University of Tampa, so my free time consists of studying, presentation prep, and writing papers. However, the program has provided me with vital insight into our business and strategic management of resources while giving me the ability to give solid advice to new business owners. When I need a break from work or study, you can find me on my yoga mat, at the dog park, or collecting passport stamps.
