Training in Chi Town


I arrived in Chicago last night on the shortest flight I have ever been on!!

I arrived at the hotel and have an amazing roommate, Elyse. She is from Iowa and we could not be anymore the same. We are already having a great time and I am sad to leave her :( :( I met all the other teams (there are 4 teams, with 3 ppl per team launching) everyone is awesome. Right now I am saying I love this job and I can not wait to be on the road (maybe this will change later .... haha) My partners for the next 42 weeks are Celeste and Jon ... I am sure you will be hearing much more about them in the future. Celeste is from New Orleans (funniest girl I have ever met) and Jon is still a mystery we will meet him on Wednesday.

Training was super long and the week is going to be intense but I did find out my first stop ..........


SUPERBOWL XLV in DALLAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could not be more excited. Go Packers!!

Beginning of my Journey

Two weeks ago I applied for a job as a Brand Ambassador for a company called Marketing Werks based out of Chicago. It has been a crazy few weeks but I got the job, moved everything home from Orlando, packed my life into a suitcase and now I am off for a year full of travels.

I am going to be a Brand Ambassador for Verizon Wireless and I am now a member of the VzW Rule the Map Tour. I am in the South Region (I do not know yet if its southwest or southeast ... will keep you posted) where I will be promoting and marketing Verizon at big events such as ....sporting events, concerts, fairs, campuses etc. It is 100% travel for 49 weeks with 2 partners and our trailer : ) I can't wait to begin this journey and now you can all follow along. I am going to try really hard to keep everyone updated on where I am by blogging about my many adventures so def keep checking in!!

I leave for Chicago tomorrow, wish me luck!
