What do you enjoy about working for Cisco?

I love working at a tech company that keeps innovating over time, but I also love the ability to give back integrated into our culture

What was your first experience with the Cisco Store?

I have always loved the Cisco Store. Since I don’t work at a main office, I always stop by when I visit the mothership to stock up. I actually had tweeted last time I was on campus and stopped by the store and it was funny because I was in the dressing room and my tweet actually scrolled across the mirror when I was trying something on. It was so cool!

Have you ever visited the Connected Cisco Store in San Jose, the Cisco Store in RTP, or a pop-up Connected Cisco Store at a Cisco Live? What were your thoughts?

I love the connected store at events and some of the cool things we are doing to innovate with shopping for retail in the future

Why did you want to become a Cisco Store Brandbassador?

I am excited to share some of the cool things with my teams and represent Cisco. The store has a variety of items which are fun gifts for partners and customers, but also neat for me to represent Cisco when I am working with the community

What is your favorite Cisco Store product so far and why?

I just adore the GRLPWR line. As I mentioned, I do a lot of work with young girls and women in tech. I also have a daughter, so this line is fun to get that bit of empowerment and makes for fun gifts for other women and girls in my life
