Who Am I?
My place of birth is:
Toledo, OH (Mercy Hospital)
My hobbies are:
Photography, Gardening, Boating, Event Planning
The last good book I read was:
Something about a My Little Pony. (Wait there are other books?)
My oddest habit is:
Re-arranging the dishwasher (and sometimes the packed car) after my husband loads it.
Device I couldn't live without:
A wine bottle opener. (Well, I'm sure I can figure out other ways to open it.)
My greatest accomplishment outside my profession:
Being a Mom of 2 awesome girls.
The reason I got into advertising/marketing:
Because I always thought things could be done better. And I really like to see people's reactions to my work.
Biggest influences on me professionally:
I have to say it's hard to pin point one person. I feel like I take a nugget from everyone I meet or do business with. All of them add up to... well, me.
My greatest unfulfilled ambition is:
Owning my own business but we still have time for that.
When nobody's looking, I like to:
Work out. I hate how I look when I'm running or doing classes...I have no coordination!
Best thing about being an AAF Toledo member:
Of course meeting all the great people and soaking in their creativity.

How to Submit a Guest Blog Post to AAF Toledo
The ideal length for a post is between 850 and 1,000 words and must not have been previously published.
Come up with a great idea. To be considered, AAFTOL blog topics should be related to advertising, marketing and communications. Write something that you would want to read yourself.
Send a proposal. Send a brief proposal to
director@aaftoledo.org. Please do not send the full article. Keep it brief: a tentative headline; two or three sentences explaining what the blog will be about; and one sentence saying why you are qualified to write it. Based on this proposal AAFTOL will let you know within three business days whether to submit the article.
Write with the reader in mind. Writing for the web is different from writing for print. The best way to organize the piece is to start with a brief set-up that hooks the reader. Then organize the rest in segments.
Assume the reader is busy and has a short attention span. Short paragraphs and headings within the article make it easier to read.
Include a brief bio at the top. Your name; the name of your company (with a link to your website); and if you've written a book relevant to the article, the title of that book with a link to the Amazon page or to your website if the book is available for sale there. If you tweet, please indicate that, and include a link to your Twitter profile page.
Submit the completed article. Please submit your final version by pasting into the body of an e-mail, or attach it as a Microsoft word document. Your submission will be reviewed by AAFTOL editorial board. If we have any questions, comments or concerns, we will contact you.
What happens next? AAFTOL will acknowledge receipt of the blog within 24 hours, and let you know within a week whether it has been accepted for publication. If it is, AAFTOL reserves the right to edit the article, including changes in the text, subheads and headline, to improve readability and maximize web traffic.
