I was proudly born and raised in Chicago and yes, I will go out of my way in basic conversation to make that distinction known.
I grew up on a steady diet of McDonald’s, magazines, and cable television, which basically manifested my destiny in advertising.
I worked for The Jerry Springer Show in a past life. You have to hire me to hear anything further.
I enjoy dogs, dismantling the white supremacist patriarchy, collecting tchotchkes, and the collected works of Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter.
I firmly believe people who work in advertising should have lives outside of advertising.
