My Title

How did you get into advertising?

I'm just a very outgoing person.  I felt that going into the field of marketing and advertising was just meant to be.  It's fun, things are always changing and it really challenges you.

 

What do you love most about advertising/marketing?

I love the idea that we as advertisers and marketers we have the ability to focus peoples thoughts a certain direction.  

 

Where do you work?

Hawaiian Host Chocolates

 

What do you do?

I'm the marketing assistant, which has thankfully allowed me to get a little taste of everything ..... from consumer promotions, product development, marketing research, strategic planning and sales/consumer analysis. I absolutely love it!  It's the whole package.

 

What do you like to do for fun?

Whether it be surfing, snorkeling or basking in the shore break I absolutely love being in and around the ocean.  When I'm not in the ocean, I enjoy yoga, running, hiking, watching movies and eating popcorn, hanging out with friends and family and traveling.   

 

Favorite food?

I absolutely love food. My favorite types Italian and Mexican.  If I had to choose one thing hands down it would be pizza. 

 

The Rapture came and went.  If it were REALLY to happen, and you had one day left on earth, what would you do?

I'd have lobster eggs benedict for breakfast and mimosas, then have a wonderful beach day with friends and family, BBQing, surfing & lounging by the water and finish it off eating a gigantic pizza with my family. smile

 

Why did you join Ad 2 Honolulu? 

I joined Ad 2 Honolulu not only to get involved and meet like minded people in the advertising and marketing community but I also wanted to be able to give back to the community.   At the end of the day, giving back to your community and helping others in anyway possible is very rewarding.  Plus, It's all for a great cause.
