Meet a CSGer: Paige
CSG senior associate, Paige, has a world to run — literally. Her bucket list is full of international marathons to run, which means she fits in perfectly with the wanderers and globetrotters who call our agency home. Read on to find out where this fashionable foodie is running off to next:
Outdoor Enthusiast and (Mild) Adrenaline Junkie
A Wisconsin native, Paige has always had a special place in her heart for the outdoors. Since moving to Colorado, which she has since dubbed her “happy place,” Paige has hiked almost every weekend. She most recently pulled an all-nighter to hike Longs Peak in the dark so she could catch the sunrise at the summit, and she’s hoping to cross more class IV 14ers off her list next summer!
Fit Foodie Turned Health-Supportive Chef
Paige has always had a passion for nutrition and making delicious food that everyone can enjoy. Her passion for cooking, baking and learning about special diets (she happens to be gluten-free and dairy-free), eventually led her to the Natural Gourmet Institute where she attended culinary school to become a health-supportive chef. Now, in her spare time you can find her perusing farmers markets, recipe testing in her kitchen, sharing recipes on Instagram, and cooking yummy meals for her friends and family. Her gluten-free and vegan brown butter chocolate chip sea salt cookies are a fan favorite!
Running the World
Paige fell in love with distance running in college and decided to run toward her “quarter life crisis” by running her first marathon on her 25th birthday in Madrid, Spain. A firm believer that one of the best ways to see a city is by running it, Paige made a bucket list of international marathons to run and made a goal to cross one off each year. Her last marathon was in Mont St. Michel, France and she hopes to run her next in Italy!
Fashion Girl at Heart
While Paige was in college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she served as the Fashion Editor for her school magazine, MODA, and interned for Vince Camuto in New York City after winning a contest through her role as campus representative for the brand. Upon graduating, Paige moved to the Big Apple where she spent the first five years of her career working at InStyle Magazine as a reporter and as a fashion publicist for various public relations agencies. Since moving to Denver last year, she breaks out her hiking boots more than her heels, but she still loves the thrill of styling a cool outfit and she lives for fall fashion.
(Almost) Reality TV Star
Paige’s older sister has been a die-hard fan of The Bachelor for years, so it didn’t come as much of a surprise when she submitted Paige to be on the show. Paige learned about her nomination when a producer called her at work one day and, because she’s a hopeless romantic at heart, she decided to go through the casting process. She made it all the way to finalists’ weekend, but, alas, did not make the cut to be one of the women on Colton Underwood’s season. If you ask her, it was a blessing in disguise, but her sister is still crossing her fingers that she will one day reapply.
