Learn more about Tori and her time at Arborwear:

Q: What drew you to Arborwear originally?

A: Heidi taught Ad Writing & Storytelling at Kent State and it instantly became my favorite class. Her style of teaching is very laid back but at the same time expectations were high and I learned a lot. She kept talking about Arborwear and gave a ton of real life examples from the company to help get points across in class. We were the first to know about the internship opportunity and I jumped head first because I knew that being able to work with Heidi would be an amazing learning opportunity and tons of fun. 

Q: What is your favorite Arborwear memory?

A: So far my favorite memory is getting to tour the new building that the company will be moving into this fall. It is so exciting to be part of the process and to see it first hand was really cool.

Q: What has been your favorite project so far?

A: I really enjoyed the flyers I made for a new webstore. I am also finding it fun to make emails in HubSpot. I am currently working on emails for the HVSA new product launch.

Q: What is the best career lesson/advice you’ve learned so far?

A: I have learned to dig into projects before asking a ton of questions. I have also learned that I have a lot more authority than I think and being able to trust my gut on big decisions has been a game changer.

Q: What do you like to do outside of Arborwear?

A: I love to spend time with my family. We have movie night almost every night of the week. I love to snuggle with my dog, Harrison. I love to read and believe that books are better than the movies or TV shows that portray them. I love to binge watch my favorite shows. I love to sing and play guitar. I am a hobby photographer and my favorite pictures to take are of landscapes and architecture. I get a lot of cool shots when I travel, which is something I am passionate about. I love to explore. My family and I travel to Hilton Head, South Carolina several times a year and take day trips to Savannah, Georgia or Charleston, South Carolina. I enjoy history and learning how America came to be. I also enjoy quilting and once won first place at the fair for a quilt I made for my sister. I got second place for the quilt that I made my Dad. 

Q: If you could meet anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

A: Dolly Parton because she has created an empire all her own and her philanthropy has helped millions of people. I fell in love with her music when I was 11 and I have loved her ever since. She is a queen. 

Q: What’s a fun fact about you many people may not know?

A: My dog Harrison and I share a birthday! February 13th. Also, I was born on Friday the 13th... but I consider that lucky. And fun fact about my dog, he loves to play hide and seek! It's hilarious.

Q: What are 3 words to describe you?

A: Tenacious, Organized, Loyal
