Tell us about your business and your current job.
Currently I work for the Bloomington Convention and Visitors Bureau as the social media coordinator. I am the primary manager of social media accounts like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, Linkedin, Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube.

What do you hope to gain from your MPI Membership?
I am joining MPI in a supporting role to assist our sales team to build relationships, gain planner insights, and strengthen social media opportunities.

If there was only one thing a potential customer could remember about your company, what would that be?
Our Convention and Visitors Bureau is a time-saving customer service for leisure travelers and event planners when they come to Bloomington, Minnesota. We are specialists in all things Bloomington. 

What one piece of advice would you give to a new supplier joining the MPI network?
Julie, a sales manager at Bloomington Convention and Visitors Bureau provides educational value to her clients and is actively building new relationships to benefit her clients through MPI. Be involved and you will get more out of the experience.

What has been the best piece of advice you have been given, and how has it made a difference in your life - personally or professionally?
Never burn bridges and always be kind. Even when I have been in difficult situations, being kind and approaching others with respect always helped to create a better outcome. 

What are some of your favorite pastime activities?
I love going to Corepower Yoga, trying new restaurants or recipes in my own kitchen, traveling and going on the boat in the summer.
