Who are you?
I am currently the Marketing Project Manager at Invacare Corporation. I run the day-to-day

divisions, Home Medical Equipment and Continuing Care. I have been with Invacare for 7 years. The department is currently working on all our marketing plans for 2016 as well as our National Sales and Training meeting that will take place at the end of January. We are very busy at this time. I have a B.A. from Kent State University.
Why did you join the AMA?
I joined the AMA in 2009 so I could gain more exposure to local marketers as well as in-person training. I have been a member ever since, and it has been a valuable experience, one that I would highly recommend to other marketers in the Cleveland area.
What do you love about volunteering?
The people. I enjoy being on the Board of Directors. The board members have become great friends of mine. If I need advice on a local photographer or printer for work, they have the answer. If I want to find out about the newest restaurant in Cleveland, I ask them first. They are a great resource both personally and professionally.

Reading, Traveling, hanging out with my husband, Chris, and our two crazy dogs, Pacer and Tiny. On-line shopping-can that be considered a hobby?
