1. How did you come to your position with JK?
I’ve been building my marketing skill set for years, both in a corporate setting and on my own as a freelance creative. When the employment opportunity arose at JK, I jumped at the chance to work closely within the lifestyle industry, as it’s always been a dream of mine.
2. What’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen?
The most beautiful place I’ve ever seen would have to be my folks’ backyard. My parents have lovingly crafted it to be their own personal oasis full of plants. It’s on a nature reserve as well, so getting to interact with or observe wildlife has always been incredibly enriching for me.
3. What’s a movie you can practically quote from start to finish?
DC’s “Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)” – or anything Margot Robbie is in, really. She’s my favorite.
4. What are you most excited about in your life right now?
Home renovation! I wasn’t sure I’d ever get the chance to own a home, but ever since my first retail job, I’ve collected things I hoped to one day have in my house – like my antique chandelier. When my partner and I got the opportunity to own a historic home in a small downtown (MI) area, my dreams were fully realized. Every day, we get closer to living in my dream house!
5. What is your go-to comfort food?
These days, it’s squash mac & cheese.
6. What skill would you most like to learn?
I’d really like to refine my woodworking skills. When I was a kid, my dad and I used to build a lot together, which inspired me to take woodshop in school. I’d like to get more comfortable with the tools and better at it, overall!
7. What’s something people would never guess about you?
In high school, I wrote a 100-page murder-mystery novella for my creative writing final. Maybe someday, you’ll find my picture on the back cover of a book!
