I am a Research Manager at EMI. My role is to support our clients to reach their research objectives. I am the main contact for daily updates on active jobs and aim to provide top of the notch customer service to every account.
I came to EMI directly after graduating from NKU in 2015 with a Marketing degree. My Marketing Research professors announced a job posting my senior year and it seemed like the perfect fit for me. I interviewed with EMI the same month that I graduated from college. I have been here ever since.
The people and passion behind what we do every day. Our culture here is truly one-of-a-kind.
Working out or doing something active, taking care of my fur-babies, spending time with my family and friends, and traveling as much as possible.
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
Hands down, Italian. I could eat pasta every day.
90’s R&B
Italian Job, Shooter, Four Brothers (basically anything with Mark Wahlberg in it).
The Real Housewives of New Jersey (big reality tv girl).
Coffee followed closely by wine.
I am a huge UK Basketball fan. My favorite NFL team is the Indianapolis Colts.
Women Inspiring Women by Melanie Mitro.
Anywhere with warm weather and pretty sunsets. A beach is always a plus.
Having regrets and not reaching my full potential.
When people mistreat animals or people who have a negative outlook about everything (Debbie downers).
Travel more and see the world. Work on not allowing my emotions to overcome me and only put my energy towards things that really matter.
The weekends I stayed with my grandma and grandpa when I was young. They spoiled us like crazy and we never wanted to leave their house. They are a huge part of who I am today, and I am forever grateful for those times. My grandpa is my best friend.
The hardest lesson I have learned is growing up everyone has their own paths and timelines in life. You cannot compare where you are in your life to anyone else around you. The best lesson I have learned is all you can do is be better than you were yesterday. Keep moving forward!
As a kid, my AAU basketball team was ranked top 10 in the Nation. We traveled almost every weekend and had the opportunity to play at Duke, North Carolina, and NC State.
Agility. My job is to constantly be rolling with the punches and being proactive instead of reactive. It is important for us to be able to adapt to changes quickly while keeping our research objective as the focus/goal on every project.
