Whenever anyone asks me why I wanted to be a host at QVC, my answer is always the same “because it is my dream come true!”  From the first day I walked through the hallways here as a guest, and up until today, I knew that this was a great place and it would be an honor to work here.  In fact, I still feel my heart pitter-patter and there is an extra “pep in my step” when I walk through the doors.  How could it not be that way? It's live television!

Although the process wasn’t easy, I knew that it was worth the effort to get here.  There were 10,000 submissions of eager-to-be hosts, and many of them had television experience that I could only have dreamed of.  I lived in Southern CA, over 2,500 miles away, and wasn’t even sure how I could make the physical move happen even if I got the job!  But a voice in my head said “go for it” and every step of the way, no matter how scared I got, I promised myself I would do just that.

When I moved here in January, I was greeted with open arms from my QVC family!  It was such a great feeling to work with people who I love, admire and respect.  Friends made my birthday so special, and even in the cold weather, West Chester, PA felt so warm and cozy to me!

Then, I was paired up with Mary Beth Roe to learn all about being a host at the Q.  I had the pleasure of knowing Mary Beth as an acquaintance prior, but as you can imagine, working with her daily was truly a priceless experience!  It wasn’t long before I gave her the nickname “Fairy Godmother” because she certainly felt like one (although she is much cuter and WAY more hip)!  She is such a loving and caring person, and it was inspirational to work with someone who cares so much about people, customer service and every aspect of her job. 

It was an honor to also debut on air with her during LCNY this past Wednesday!  We had such a good time, I am excited to do it again this coming Wednesday at 10am!

Thank you to everyone who tuned in to cheer me on and thank you for all of your kind messages on my Facebook page too!  I’m so grateful to be here and to serve you in any way that I can.  I’ll be posting lots of photos and thoughts as I learn more about living in this great new neighborhood! 

Feel free to join in the conversation too!  I’m excited to speak with you!
