1 How did you get into the tanning industry?
[gap height=”15″]
After earning my B.A. in communication at Indiana University in 2009, I moved to Indianapolis, IN and got my start in this industry with Sun Tan City. I managed a salon for a year and then worked on their Training and Development team. That role helped me forge a strong relationship with the team at New Sunshine, and five years later, it lead me into my current position with the company.

2 What do you like most about your job?
[gap height=”15″]
I enjoy meeting individuals who are just getting their start in this industry. When I started in the tanning business, I was not aware of the opportunities that were in front of me. I love sharing my story of where I started and who helped pushed me to get to where I am now. With every training or meeting I am a part of, I hope to meet the next “me” – someone who is eager to fill my shoes one day! The team at AG is so great, as well – even when we’re off the clock, we plan vacations together and support each other like family.

3 How do you spend your spare time?
[gap height=”15″]
Despite being on the road about 60-70% of the year, I love to travel. Whether it’s going to Las Vegas for a show or Sonoma County for a great glass of wine, I love to travel. When I’m not traveling, I am usually home with my family trying out a new recipe or catching up with friends. In 2018, I hope to purchase a kayak and spend some spare time floating with Mother Nature.

4 Do you have a “pet peeve?”
[gap height=”15″]
I am a stickler for customer service, especially when it comes to first impressions. Nothing drives me crazier than a greeting in a business situation that comes across more as an afterthought than genuine hospitality.

7 If we look at your “Bucket List,” what’s at the top?

Anyone who knows me at all knows that I love Britney Spears! So, meeting her is definitely at the top of my “Bucket List.”
