Jobs powered by GigitJobs.com

What do you do in your new position at FRCH?
I’ve worked on a number of different projects within the specialty retail architecture studio. Currently, I’m focusing on construction documents for multiple interior renovations and standards for a client’s new construction prototypes.
 
What do you like best about this job?
The work never stops! I’m in the beginning of my career and want to soak up as much knowledge and skill as possible. My talented co-workers and our challenging projects make every day a learning experience.
 
What's great about living/working in Cincinnati?
I grew up on the west side of Cincinnati, went to high school on the east side, and attended UC’s uptown campus. Every time I think I’m familiar with an area of town, someone recommends a new restaurant or bar I’ve never heard of. It’s impossible to get bored here with so much to do.

What part of town do you live in and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live? 
I live in Clifton's Gaslight District. You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful backdrop for an evening run. We also have the best wine shop in the city with Ludlow Wines, and hopefully soon will have a much-needed and much-discussed grocery co-op. I’m a quick drive or a cheap cab ride from my normal weekend hangout spots in OTR.

Cincinnati is the best big-little city in the Midwest. It has the charm, hospitality and quiet nature that makes the Midwest so famous, and it has all the amenities of a big city. We have great parks, wonderful neighborhoods, an amazing arts scene, an increasingly walkable urban core and a spectacular riverfront. It’s a great place to live, work, shop, worship and play.

I’m a lifelong Cincinnatian and third-generation Westsider. I’ve lived in Westwood for the past 22 years with my wife, Susan, and our daughters, Jane and Anna. I love the Westside’s tree-lined streets, superb housing stock and the close-knit family environment of our community. As I like to tell people, “I live 10 minutes from downtown, two minutes from my in-laws' house and three stop lights from the airport.”

What do you do in your new position at FRCH?
I work on many different projects within the specialty retail architecture studio. I coordinate on the production of construction documents for multiple clients.
 
What do you like best about this job?
This is a new job experience for me.

It is very exciting and constantly keeps me on my toes.
 
What's great about living/working in Cincinnati?
Cincinnati is a great city. Having grown up in West Chester and attending college at the University of Cincinnati, I have been able to see the city truly come to be a place all its own. Everywhere you turn there is a new building, or an old site is being renovated to provide a new use to the community. It is great to be able to see something new every time you turn a corner.
 
What part of town do you live in, and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live?

What do you like best about this job?
It was important to me to find a position that was a good fit for my life, my beliefs and my work ethics. I was particular in choosing companies and organizations to apply.

What part of town do you live in, and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live?
I love in Florence, Ky., with my husband and four children. Florence, and Northern Kentucky in general, offers the best of two worlds. My neighborhood is tucked away from the roads and the noise and offers a safe place for kids to play while also offering the proximity of conveniences such as grocery stores, the mall, and restaurants and local attractions.

What do you do in your new position at Forza Marketing?

Small agencies are nimble by nature, and Forza is staffed by great people who know their stuff and get things done. I also learn something new every day, which is fantastic. Everyone here takes so much pride in their work, and nothing goes out the door that we don’t stand behind. 
 
What's great about living/working in Cincinnati? 
The urban core of Cincinnati is changing rapidly, and it’s so exciting to see. Recently Cincinnati and the greater Cincinnati area have been getting some great press, and it is well-deserved. I also like how Cincinnati can be such a small town sometimes. Most of the time I don’t go far without bumping into someone I know—and that’s (usually) a good thing!  
 
What part of town do you live in, and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live? 
I live downtown and actually have one of the shortest commutes ever—it’s only half a block from my condo to Forza. That means no snow days for me, though. I’ve lived downtown for about four years now, and it’s amazing. I’m very excited about the changes coming in the next few years.
