Probably my finest moment so far is the successful completion of accreditation in public relations (APR). It was a yearlong process during which I transformed from a practitioner to a counselor. The APR program, while rigorous, was absolutely rewarding because I truly learned how to look critically at an issue or opportunity and develop integrated communications strategies that achieve measureable goals.

The enthusiasm and drive of the folks at IMRE is unmatched by most in the marketing world. Who wouldn't want to work with a group of people who love what they do and are amazing at it?

Ask questions. Then listen...listen...listen.

One that asks what the consumer needs then delivers flawlessly every time. Add commitment, engagement and a plethora of benefits and you've got one exceptional brand.

I wish I could play more than "Heart and Soul" on the piano.

My fellow North Carolinians would likely disown me if I didn't enjoy ACC basketball. The team I cheer for the hardest? The UNC Tarheels, of course.

Someone not following through on what they've agreed to do.

My favorite show of all time was The West Wing. The characters were smart, the dialogue even smarter. (My penchant for it might have something to do with the fact that in college I had aspirations of being the White House communications director.) Least favorite - any sport other than ACC basketball.

I love being a mom and wife.
