What projects are you working on at The Sampson House?
The main thing I’m focusing on at the moment is building and growing TSH internal socials as well as working with some pretty cool clients like Rebecca Scott Designs and Ammunition Wines.
What do you spend your time doing when you’re not working on TSH?
When I’m not doing school work, or something for one of the many extra curriculars I’m involved in on campus like being on executive boards for Advertising Club and L&F Association, working at The Collegian, or attending events for my sorority, I love to just chill with my friends, go to the gym or shopping, I’m a shopaholic so I’m constantly online shopping.
Favorite social media platform?
Twitter for sure, I could scroll for hours.
What are you reading right now?
Girl Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis. 10/10 would recommend, she has a way with words that is very inspiring and motivating.
What is your ideal weekend?
Probably going out with my friends one night and then staying in and relaxing the next, balance is key.
What app could you not live without?
Spotify, a world without music is one I don’t want to experience.
What’s your go-to coffee beverage?
Cold Brew with a splash of almond milk and vanilla or if I’m feeling like a need some pep in my step, I can always count on an iced vanilla latte with an extra shot of espresso to get the job done.
When did you develop an interest in marketing?
I always knew I had a love for business and that I wanted to do something in the industry but my love for marketing specifically was sparked during my sophomore year of college when I joined my sorority and began marketing events and designing graphics. I love that marketing gives me the ability to be creative while also being strategic and seeing the process of a project develop from start to finish is super rewarding.
What drew you to The Sampson House?
I think the first thing that drew me to TSH was how different they are from any other agency in Sioux Falls. I love the unique look and feel of the content they create and how close knit the team is, is definitely a plus!
Favorite way to blow off steam?
There’s nothing a face mask and a glass of wine can’t solve, but a good nap or a trip to Target also gets the job done.
If you could have lunch with one person, who would it be and what would you order?
One of my favorite people in the world is Chance the Rapper so probably him, and I’d order a Moscow mule and pepperoni flatbread pizza.
Best advice you’ve ever received?
A bit of hard work and dedication will take you a long way. -My dad
What’s your favorite thing about your internship?
My favorite thing about this internship is that no two days are ever the same. I love that I get to be creative and work with some super talented people in a beautiful environment.
What’s your ultimate bucket-list travel destination?
Bora-Bora, with any luck I’ll find Kim Kardashians earring in ocean while I’m there
Favorite restaurant?
Chevy’s, Mexican food is my guilty pleasure. Or Mackenzie River (try the cowboy nachos with pulled pork, you’ll thank me later.)

Ultimate dream career?
Marketing in Fashion for a high-end brand. I’d also love to have my own clothing brand, being able to incorporate both business and fashion in a job, doesn’t sound much like work to me.
What do you bring to the table here at TSH?
I think my passion and drive for success is something great I bring to the table here at TSH, as well as my independence and motivation to get work done. Oh, and I’d like to think that I bring a little bit of humor to anywhere I go.
