What do you love about your job?
I've been a marketer for 25+ years. I can't imagine doing anything else. When I first decided to get my MBA in marketing and strategic management, it was my manager at the time that was a great influence. I was pursuing a teaching degree and he said to me that marketing is a way of educating a more diverse and broad audience. I love that my marketing efforts have an impact that reaches beyond my home office.

What is a key tidbit you give to others?
I've been working from a home office for 10 years with PanTerra. My advice to anyone considering an at-home office or business opportunity would be to make sure you have the right tools for success. PanTerra's Streams is a good start.
Favorite vacation/getaway destination?
My favorite vacation destination is wherever family is. And, luckily, our family likes to vacation together. So, every destination is a favorite.
Do you have a goal outside of your career that you'd like to achieve?
I've been very lucky in my life. I was a stay-at-home mom for 10 years, I went back to school while my kids were in school, I traveled for work all over the world and I've been married for 43 years. When I was a youngster, I thought about a singing career. I get to fulfill that dream and am honored every time I am asked to sing the Star-Spangled Banner for a veteran's event in our community.
