About

Stories are everywhere. They educate. They entertain. They excite. The journey is simple and universal - find the audience, speak to the audience, and make the moment meaningful and memorable. I have successfully served many audiences throughout my career - market consumers, television viewers, employees, direct team members, internal partner departments, donors, volunteers, and more.

I embrace several key things - analytics, innovation, change, and the talents of those around me. Being an engaged listener is critical.

I began my career as a video editor, writer, and production manager. These fundamentals have been core strengths that I've carried throughout the many positions I've held. I started in news followed by a decade in sports and children's programming and nearly another in advertising sales and marketing with progressive leadership roles. I have successfully developed award-winning campaigns, built diverse teams, created strategic communications for internal and external stakeholders, negotiated numerous rights acquisitions, and launched programs from the ground up. In addition, I have had responsibility for large operating budgets with substantial year-over-year revenue growth. 

Each day has brought adventure and insight where talents and passions intersect.

I'm particularly passionate about these topics - technology, wildlife preservation, history exploration, cooking, archery, and the performing arts (especially dance).Currently, I'm preparing for the adventure and challenge of a lifetime, looking to climb and summit Mt. Kilimanjaro. Just as I've approached change and challenges throughout my life, I'll take it "one foot in front of the other...whatever weather cold or warm...hear the words and have faith...and know that I tried my very best to put my spirit to the test. So, take me where my future's lyin'...gonna take some time to do the things we never had." Cue the playlist.
