What is your role at Laura of Pembroke?
Store Manager at Pinecrest
Before working at Laura of Pembroke, what was the most unusual or interesting job you’ve ever had?
In college I worked at American Eagle Corporate Offices in the Visual Lab. It was really interesting to see the amount of work that goes into floorsets, taking pictures of the store and making sure everything was laid out just right.
If you could switch your job with anyone else within LOP, whose job would you want?
Lauren!
What are you most excited about when it comes to working at LOP?
Getting to open a brand new store, setting it up, and getting the word out about the store!
What are you most excited to purchase at LOP?
EVERYTHING. (even though my closet would say otherwise)
Best vacation you’ve been to?
Germany. All of the architecture and history was surreal.
Do you have a favorite newspaper, blog?
HMM..that’s a tough one. I don’t think I have a ‘favorite’ blog because I am always searching through Instagram to find new bloggers to follow!
Do you have a favorite quote?
“You don’t dream about success, you work hard for it” -Estee Lauder
Favorite travel spot?
Really anywhere. I have always had the travel bug
What is your favorite local restaurant?
Luxe in Gordon Square. They also have an amazing patio for the warmer months, brunch, and an amazing happy hour.

I read a TON. I just finished ‘Me Before You’ and then I watched the movie. It was amazing and would recommend it to anyone that needs a good cry. I am currently reading ‘Dreamland’ and it is about the Opiate crisis in America.
What do you like to do on your days off?

Homeland
