How long have you been an SMPS member? 6 months!

Why did you join SMPS? As the only marketer in the Gensler Seattle office, I really saw the value in being part of a organization of people that have the same focus, and face the same challenges, as I do, every day. I really see SMPS as my way to stay connected!

Where do you draw inspiration from? My 2-year old son...his energy and enthusiasm for life is contagious!
What ability or skill do you most wish you had (that you don't have already)? The ability to network with ease - I know it's there, just needs to be encouraged a bit!
What led you to professional services marketing? I studied architecture in college for a number of years, and then fell into a marketing position with a firm in Chicago right out of college. I feel like my position really combines my love for the craft of architecture, with my project management and communication skills. It's a perfect blend!
