Hired: March 2007
A Life Force:
Before joining Risdall, this spirited woman spent her days as a stay-at-home mom operating the Slip & Slide, making snow forts, playing Polly Pockets, Hullabaloo and Crazy Eights with her amazing six-year old daughter, Ava. Anne couldn't be more proud; “she's courageous and bold, kind-hearted, fantastic at making new friends and just plain fun. She made my time at home some of the best days I can remember.”
Education:
- University of Minnesota – Twin Cities
B.A. International Relations and B.A. in Mass Communications
Minor: Japanese
Experience:
Anne previously spent several years at Foley Sackett where she worked with Ron Sackett and Risdall's own Rose McKinney. “Ron is just a wonderful person and Rose inspires me everyday to raise the bar on PR work. I'm honored to have worked with them and to have won almost 20 PRSA awards; including Best of Show, on behalf of our clients.”
Prior to Foley Sackett, Anne worked in public relations and promotions at Fallon where she worked on some of the “Buddy Lee” planning and managed Lee's involvement in the Elite Lee Jeans Model Look.
Favorite Candy at RMG:
Fruit flavored Jelly Bellies and Laffy Taffy.
A Big Kid At Heart:
In her downtime, Anne loves to travel, read and do yoga. Her favorite places to visit are “somewhere sunny and warm where we can rent a convertible, drive to the ocean and collect seashells.” When it comes to the things that really matter, she likes nothing more than to spend a day at an amusement park with her husband and daughter, “it's those days that we smile, laugh and really enjoy life the most together.”
