Say, “Hi”, to Monica Herring!

1. What are three words that best describe you?

Direct, Compassionate, Giving

2. What does a typical day at Tactive look like for you?

Well in this industry, no two days are the same, which makes it exciting. I do the same job, but don’t necessarily deal with the same customers from day to day. So, the events/projects I’m assisting with requires different “thinking caps”. I check emails, get with customers to see what their needs are, provide ideas and quotes specific to those needs, write up orders, do art proofs and check deadlines….

3. Before working at Tactive, what was the most unusual or interesting job you’ve ever had?

I’m a bartender, which is quite interesting. You meet so many different people with a wide range of personalities. I never know what I’ll be doing from one moment to the next. I’m serving drinks, then I’m a therapist or giving relationship advice (they listen because I’ve been with my husband since I was 15!), to letting someone cry on my shoulder! LOL!

4. If you could interview one person (dead or alive) who would it be?

My father. He passed when I was only 2 years old so everything I know about him is second-hand. I’d love to talk with him and hear it straight from his mouth! 😊

5. What is your favorite thing to do in Indy?

Mostly all my family is here. I am extremely family-oriented, so my favorite thing is getting in family time whenever I can. To be honest, I love to catch a plane from Indy to see the world. But I love calling Indy home and coming back.

Bonus Question: Share something interesting about you!

I was a contestant on “Let’s Make a Deal” in 2006 when it was still taped in Las Vegas at the Tropicana Hotel. I was the first contestant called down and I got to play for a new car. I zonked out, but still walked away with $100.00
