GO FESTIVE! Goes to the Dogs!

Everyone, it’s time you met the youngest member of the GO FESTIVE! team: Agda!

Agda is a 7 month old Yellow Labrador Retriever. Her duties around the office include napping, snarfing up crumbs, locating various inedible bits of stuff to put in her mouth, and charming visitors. She excels at her job. Agda’s name comes from Swedish culture and means “pure”. She is a card-carrying member of the AKC and in her spare time enjoys visiting the dog park, playing with her Kong, and following her owners (GO FESTIVE! team member Christine and boyfriend Todd) around the house.

Rumor has it that eventually the doggie-division of GO FESTIVE! will expand, once company owner Natalie and her husband Matt decide to take the puppy plunge!

Until next time…

Keep it Festive, everybody!

GO FESTIVE! Has new interns!

GO FESTIVE! has a few new interns! They’ve joined our team in order to get a taste of what running your own small business is all about, as well as to help us serve our customers better. They’re all hard workers, and having them around is a big help – and great fun! They’ll be introducing themselves one by one here on the blog, so stay tuned to meet the newest members of the GO FESTIVE! team. Everyone, meet Tina!

Hi there!

My name is Tina Khaladze which is derived from the Georgian name Tinatin, meaning the reflection of a sunray on the morning dew. As you would probably guess I am originally from Republic of Georgia. I came to the United States a year ago to attend the Temple University Fox School of Business, where I major in Entrepreneurship. I will be senior in January, 2010. I am Director of Marketing for the International Student Association and a Secretary of the College Council at Fox School. Most importantly, I am a part of the marketing team at GO FESTIVE!

Besides my interest in business, I love acting, dancing, movies, theater, photography and generally deeply appreciate art. I also like to read, have interesting conversations with people, think about existence or enjoy the sunset and daydream. Oh and I love rain.

Gaining experiences in personal and professional life have been one of my top priorities… Being an opportunist, I did not want to miss the chance of interning at GO FESTIVE! I could certainly say that I am proud of my choice. I hope to contribute greatly to the company and would love to assist you!

Brittany Julian:

Hey all! My name is Brittany… I’m an Army brat so I say I’m from “everywhere” but the last place that I settled was Clarks Summit, PA. I attended the University of Scranton for 2 years before transferring to Temple University. I hated Philadelphia for the first year and frequently escaped back to the “country.” Now that I am experiencing what city life can offer… I love it!

Most people look at me funny when I tell them I’m an Entrepreneurship major. Just the other day I was talking to an entrepreneur who said, “Isn’t entrepreneurship about going into something blindly and figuring it out as you go? I think Temple is razzing you.” In all honesty, I am really only learning things that will benefit my personal life. However, I am enjoying my second internship in which I’m learning things that will benefit my future career. Over the summer I interned at The Inn at Nichols Village and got a feel for in-house event planning. Now, at GO FESTIVE! I am learning the ins and outs of growing a new business. After I graduate in May I plan to be an event coordinator.

I hope to work with you as you plan your next festivity!
