Anne, thanks for being on the Happy Market Research Podcast today. [00:58] Thanks for having me, Jamin. [01:00] I want to rewind the clock a little bit and start with this context of your parents.

I want to rewind the clock a little bit and start with this context of your parents. Maybe you could tell us a little bit about your parents, your background and how that's informed your career.

It's interesting. My dad was a truck driver. He delivered paper in New York City many years ago. My mom worked in a doctor's office. But the interesting part about that, as it relates to me today, is that my mother loved to travel and she would always have my dad have a trip arranged for us each year where my poor dad, who drove for a living, would have to drive us somewhere. So I think it was a busman's holiday for my poor dad. So I think that my love of traveling and my wanderlust personality comes from that time where my mom liked to go places and my poor dad had to drive all week and then on the weekends or on vacation there he was driving some more. So I think that's really how I got be so interested in the international space, which is really my favorite part of the work that we do, has always been and still is today.
[02:10]
So, New York native, how old were you when you first visited another country?
[02:16]
I think I was maybe 18.
[02:19]
So not part of the childhood experience. Where'd you wind up going?
[02:22]
Well, no, no, no, that's not true. Actually, when I was 10, we went to Canada. And we interestingly enough… Yeah, I forgot about that. Interestingly enough, we went to Quebec City, and I just went back a couple of weeks ago, and it was really interesting. I had this thought that the Basilica there was actually in the town, but it's not in the city. It's further out. But it was really a great experience. So yes, I do, I guess.
[02:50]
So, 10 and then 18. Was that like a kind of this is international-scoped work is really exciting. So how did you wind up in market research?
[03:02]
It was a fluke really.
