What is your favorite thing to do in Pittsburgh?

How has Flying Cork helped with your career development?
From an internship to a full gig, I’ve learned the ins and outs of how to actually be an email marketer. I never had a desire to know marketing; I originally wanted to be a web developer. But, the niche of email marketing has put me in a special category. Email is never going away, so that kind of puts me in my staple, and now I can offer marketing, email marketing, email development, and email design systems.
What is your go-to meal?
Peanut butter and strawberry jelly.
Other than Flying Cork, what is a company that has notable marketing?

What is the best book you’ve ever read?
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.

I would say the people. It’s great to be in the environment of a small team where everybody is responsible and reliable for getting their job done.
Dream vacation?
I would love to go to Jerusalem.
What is a cork popping moment you’ve experienced while at Flying Cork?
At the top of my list is our email redesign for a client. We took a very generic email newsletter template and spiced it up to be more unique and actually have some flavor and color to the design.
