Meet Ria, our newest Account Coordinator and O’ahu native! Her vibrance and ambitious zest for life is infectious and we couldn’t be more excited to have her join the Fish fam!
When she’s OOO, Ria is likely traveling across the globe, immersing herself in different cultures – be sure to ask about her recent trips to Japan and Dubai! Besides travel, Ria is exceptional at keeping up with the latest bloggers, makeup artists, fashionistas, and of course, The Kardashians!
Read below to learn more about Ria and see why we’re so lucky she took a leap and moved across the country – literally – to pursue her passion for PR!
Work you and personal you likely differ slightly. So how would your friends describe you?
On my birthday this past year, my friends went around the table and shared that I’m always there to listen, offer advice and motivate them to be their best.
And how would Lorne describe you?
Given that I moved across the country from Hawaii by myself, I think Lorne would describe me as an ambitious person.
Bookworm or TV addict?
I pretty much only watch YouTube so I think this counts as a TV addict. I love watching my favorite vloggers, makeup artists, fashionistas, and lifestyle content creators.
What’s your funniest Fish memory?
Getting to know everyone outside of the office over drinks during summer fun.
If you were Lorne for a day, what would you do?
Go on a trip!
Early bird or night owl?
I like to sleep in a little in the morning, so I would say I’m a night owl.
What are you currently binge watching?
I love The Kardashians! I’m currently watching their newest season.
Tacos – hard shell or soft shell?
I used to be a hard shell girly, until I noticed that most restaurants usually only serve soft shell so I had to learn to love soft shell.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I would love to have colored eyes! I think they are so mesmerizing and the first thing I notice when I look at someone.
If it were up to you, what would your song selection be for conference line hold music?
Drop Baby Drop by The Mana’o Company because it reminds me of home.
Bloody Mary or Mimosa? And you can’t say both, although I’d absolutely respect it.
Definitely Mimosa. I’d rather have a fruity drink in the morning vs. a savory one.
You can bring anyone as a date to a dinner party, dead or alive, who’s your plus one?
I would love to bring the one and only, Alix Earle. She seems like she’s the life of any party and has quickly become the IT girl of our generation.
We know you can’t sing, but what’s your go-to karaoke song?
Any Rihanna song! Especially Umbrella. Fun Fact: Her concert was the first concert I ever attended when I was 7 years old.
What’s your party trick?
Making drinks magically disappear when I’m offered one and don’t want to drink anymore.
Pick your poison – straight shot or mixed cocktail?
I love a shot to get the party started then I like to sip on a mixed drink, preferably pineapple tequila.
Amy Poehler or Amy Schumer?
Amy Schumer. She’s hilarious!
If you could spend a year living anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I would live in Dubai without a doubt. I visited a few months ago and instantly fell in love with the city. It felt extremely safe, the cuisine is amazing, there’s lots to do and see, and the city is so ahead of the times.
When was the last time you told a lie? And if you say you don’t lie, then your answer should be “right this second.”
2 questions prior when I answered “Amy Schumer”. To be honest, I don’t really know either of them, so I had to look them up!
Besides an ice-cold cocktail, what motivates you?
My family and the future I see for myself and future family.
If your name were an acronym, what would it stand for?
Respectful
Innovative
Artistic
