When I Joined ETA & What I Love About Working Here

2025 – I cherish the amazing relationships I’ve formed with my coworkers.

Professional Background

I studied TV & Film production in high school and college, and worked in the TV industry for several years. I interned at Live with Regis & Kelly and worked at NFL Films. Most notably, I directed a business economy news show that taped out of the Nasdaq Marketsite studio and aired live in India. I directed from NYC while on a headset with master control in New Delhi. As a fitness enthusiast, I later became a certified fitness trainer and Pilates instructor, and discovered a new passion in my life. Before having my kids, I became a licensed real estate agent. I love creating, teaching, simplifying, organizing, and finding solutions for efficiency.

Most unexpected moment while traveling:
Back in 2001, I was flying with my family to Florida. As my carry-on backpack went through the security scan, the agent kept sending it out and back in to the scanner, re-examining something that was inside. They called over another agent. They both kept pointing and looking at the screen, reexamining. After a couples minutes, they came over and said they have to open my bag and check the contents. Imagine their surprise when all they saw was a large zipper-top bag with a bunch of apples and oranges packed inside!

Window seat! I love looking out the window and watching the clouds and landscape.
