If you didn’t have to sleep, what would you do with the extra time?

I’d be blissful blue. I try to remain calm in positive in every situation. Plus, blue is my favorite color!

What drew you to/kept you in advertising? (How did you choose it?)

Advertising was like the cool aunt of business. I like being able to be creative and think outside the box to come up with solutions that have a measurable benefit to a company or organization.

Who would you most like to swap places with for a day?

I’d love to swap places with Meghan Markle just to see if all the crazy rules the royals have to follow are true. Also, who wouldn’t want Prince Harry as their husband?
