I've been a PCHer for over 30 years and that's given me the opportunity to work in many different departments and learn our business from the ground up. Today I'm in charge of Creative, Communications, the PCH Contest and Consumer Affairs. I love thinking of new ideas for prizes and promotions and I enjoy working with the talented colleagues who inspire me daily. I'm thrilled to be involved with blogging and social media not only because they give me a chance to share my passion for our company and the people behind the scenes here, but also because I can hear what's on your mind and share your thoughts with other PCHers! When I'm away from the office, I take an active role in my community by fundraising for my local library, participating in our school district's Teacher Center Policy Board, supporting our residents' environmental beautification organization and singing in my church choir. My hobbies are running, working out and playing the flute. I'm also developing a fondness for hiking and rock scrambling and look forward to active excursions with my husband and family. My favorite TV shows are Star Trek and CSI. My philosophy in life is to try to make the world a better place.
