- What do you like most about being a part of the ParkerWhite team?
The people and the view. I work with a group of really awesome people and being able to see the ocean from our conference room is definitely a plus. I would also have to agree with Christina on the diet sharing, fantastically fun. Especially when it’s the Milkshake diet week or hot-tamales-are-the-best diet week.
- Favorite afternoon pick me up (coffee, peanut butter, etc.)
The sun. Sometimes I have to step outside for a second after lunch and feel the sun to wake me up from the food coma I find myself in after a large meal.

I’m right handed, I’m trying to convince Christina and Oscar to teach me how to be left handed though.
- What is (are) your defining characteristic(s)?
Look at my picture, I’ll give you clues: it’s bright, it’s red and it’s on my head.
- What personal item of yours has Ziggy chewed?
Considering Zig comes home with me sometimes he has access to many things I wish he wouldn’t chew. My biggest upset was when he took the nose off of a stuffed bear, my Guardian Bear, to be exact. Imagine my shock when I realized that not only is GB’s eyes crooked (due to many nights of hugs to keep me safe) but he seemed to have a cold and when he blew his nose stuffing came out. I’m not sure if guardian bear had a button for a nose or if it was just sewn together but either way little Ziggy got GB’s nose and this is no thumb trick where he can give it back.
- What website are you addicted to?
There are several, www.textsfromlastnight.com is really hilarious, better than www.fmylife.com in my opinion. www.twitter.com (follow me @coreywithane or @parkerwhite), and www.foursquare.com are also websites that I am on and go to from my phone. It’s a pretty big deal if I access the site from my phone considering the browser is not so great.
- Favorite thing to do in San Diego?
I love going to Sea World and feeding/petting the dolphins.
- If you weren’t an AE in marketing what would you be?
Vegan Bakery/ Ice Cream Shop Owner (think Maggie Gyllenhaal’s character in Stranger Than Fiction working at Penny Licks in Brooklyn.) I also wouldn’t mind being a fabulous vocalist in a band (think Paramore’s Hayley Williams), however, the latter takes a tool I don’t have, finely tuned vocal cords, and the former takes money and time to get the vegan treats right.
