Job title: Associate Producer
What is your role on PM Style? What do you love about it?
I’m an associate producer with an additional role of “social” producing. So in addition to knowing about the live show, (yes sometimes I’m on headsets during the chat), moving cameras, checking lights, etc., I also get the opportunity to chat with the lovely viewers for PMS on FB.
What do you love about it?
That’s easy! There is something I find particularly thrilling about being involved in a live unscripted show, while simultaneously maintaining a very live and interactive conversation with our viewers. I love being able to relay FB questions or comments from the chat to the production team, and vice versa. I’m kind of like the liaison between the viewer, the production team, and Shawn! I love the sense of community and friendship that seems to naturally forge whenever shopping and good people come together.
What's your most memorable or funny viewer connection through chatting during shows?
I was trying to locate a shoe a viewer asked about during the chat. She said she saw a model wearing them a few Monday nights prior. Given my determination to track down these shoes, I must have supplied more than 6 item numbers based on her description—with no success! Eventually, the other ladies chatting started to help me out by asking for a better description. We were all working on it and it became a real mystery to solve! We went back and forth suggesting and tracking down item numbers. Finally, when it was all said and done, the viewer realized it was the very first item number I had given her!! It was fun to experience the support of the ladies from the FB chat to help a fellow friend out! We all had a good laugh!!
You have a twin sister Kate who does something similar for AMStyle. Tell us more about your relationship? It's ironic you both work at QVC?
It’s great that we both work at the Q! We’ve done everything together our whole lives; I think it would be weird if we didn’t work with each other in some capacity. We are best friends. There is no one closer to me than my twin sister-- we have been together since before our first breath, she truly is an extension of me.
Do twins really think the same thoughts?
Absolutely! We often finish each other sentences, or come out of our bedrooms wearing the same outfit-- even now at 28! We know each other so well that I can look at her from across a room and know exactly what she is thinking! We even scored the same exact number on our College Prep Exams!
How are you and Kate the same; how are you different?
We are the same in many areas of life, sense of humor, goals, quirky personality traits, sense of style (for the most part). Our voices are almost identical! She left me a voicemail once, and I was convinced I left it for myself! We are a little different in terms of risk taking. I’d say Kate is open to trying new things, where I am much more cautious in my approach at life.
What's your total dream Job?
Not to sound cheesy, but I love working here at the Q-- I love live television in general, and the countless opportunities in this field are bountiful enough to supply multiple dream jobs. If I had another dream job, it would be an Investigative Reporter. A close third would be to work as a High Fashion Model (Clearly I wasn’t blessed with the height for that, but it’s still a dream, right?!)
What's your biggest fear?
I’m deathly afraid of dogs, heights, small spaces, etc. But on a more rhetorical level, I’m afraid that one day I’m going to look back at all the things and goals I wanted to accomplish but never did because I was too scared to try, or waited too long.
What's your dream vacation? A
Any place warm, any island will do! Eventually, I’d love to see the culture and grandeur of Europe, but right now, I’d settle for an ocean view, my toes in the sand, and a soft breeze that carries the sweet smell of sun tan oil and island music.
