My QVC Story

Founder's Day reminds me of this unique opportunity I have been blessed with at QVC. I would tell you that I grew up dreaming of working at the Q, but the industry did not even exist a few decades ago!

As hosts, each of us has taken a different journey to arrive at the Q...mine was boarding the Bieber bus from my hometown and heading to NYC. I spent five years in NYC and Japan, both modeling and doing commercials. I soon realized I needed a college education, so I graduated with a degree in Communications. My goal was to work in the news industry.

I landed my first job after graduation in December. It was at a small station in Delaware hosting an infomercial…and the shoot was on Friday the 13th, which seems fitting since my car transmission blew on the way to the job! I made it, though, and it was there that one of my coworkers suggested auditioning for this new business in West Chester called QVC. I was told to bring three things to the audition to sell...as a poor college student, I brought my window fan, my watch, and a pencil.

One interview question from Mr. Giles stands out in my memory. He asked me where I saw myself in ten years. Well, fast forward to over two decades later, and I am still grateful every minute of every day to have been given such an awesome opportunity to work with a company that has vision, cares about people, and has made it fun along the way.

Yes, the early years were very different than the QVC we know today. I enjoyed the challenge then…just as I do now. We all have stories to tell about packing jewelry, answering phones on Black Friday to take orders, and doing inventory in our first years. It was very exciting to be part of a growing company, and I wore lots of different hats whenever it was necessary.

From Fashion Formulas and Yves Roche to the Q Bird and so much more...who would have ever guessed that we could one day be able to talk directly to you and share our lives on Facebook?

Founder's Day is all about saying thank you to the many who have been with us from the beginning and have helped grow QVC into the leader in the industry that it is today. Most of all, it is our way of saying Thank You to all of you! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing our vision at QVC and making this so much more than shopping…
