Favorite part of your job:

Getting ink!

Inspirational Influences:

Cleopatra VII, Joan of Arc, Dwight Eisenhower, Mohandas Gandhi, Paul Hewson (a.k.a. Bono), Sir Edmond Hilary, Aung San Suu Kyi, Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, Nelson Mandela, Alice Paul, Titus Pullo, Paul Rusesabagina, Oprah Winfrey and Women CEOs!

Big Dreams:

Travel, travel, travel all over the world until there are no more places to explore or I collapse. Whatever comes first!

Things that make you laugh:

PR agencies that ask interns to blast executive hire news out to 1,000 contacts, and then “dial for dollars.”

Hobbies:

Studying Buddhism and running a Zen Spa-themed retail booth at Leaping Lotus in the Cedros Design District (keeps me creative). Tisha also loves snorkeling, beach barbeques, sushi parties (fresh catch from Osprey!) and weekend trips to Mexico in search of the perfect fish taco.

Most embarrassing moment:

As a bridesmaid, having a twelve year-old child walk her down the aisle because “they are the same height and it will look cute.” While Tisha’s PR work packs a punch, she stands at only 4’ 9”!
