An introduction
Hello and thanks for checking out this blog! (I know there’s about a trillion of them out there, so I’m flattered you’d wanna hear what I have to say.) I wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself and tell you just a little bit about me and what you can expect from my blogs.
Like many people that I’ve met in the business, I ended up in advertising by pure accident. An aspiring actress right out of college (rare to find in L.A., I know) I was looking for a part time job to help pay the rent between auditions. Having tried the restaurant world and not having really liked it, I skimmed Craigslist for part-time administrative jobs and sent in my resume to a few places. One of them, a full service advertising agency, was looking for a receptionist. They called me in and I had the opportunity to be interviewed by the company’s vice president, who about 15 minutes into the interview decided that I would make an excellent account coordinator. The pay beat that of the receptionist’s so I thought, “What the heck? I’ll give it a shot.” So now, years later, here you have me. Still working in the business and loving it.
