With over 25 years of government communications leadership experience, I am a seasoned professional in the public sector with proven results at each level of government. I am wired to perform and thrive well under pressure and am a highly self-motivated individual with an energizer bunny mentality. I have high expectations of myself and that of my team. When given a project or a challenge, I exceed at delivering results and go above and beyond what is expected.I believe in government transparency and delivering policy decisions through the press and social channels as appropriate. The story and the information needs to be told and driven by the organization, not waiting to be found. I am a driver of information. Put me behind the wheel, and I’ll turn the key for a successful campaign. My life’s work has culminated in numerous national, regional, and state awards including being nationally recognized for Overall Excellence in Government Access and receiving a Tribute from Governor Whitmer for my dedication and contribution to communications. I started as a non-paid intern who worked my way up at every level of communications to leading a political campaign in 2020 getting elected with 74% of the vote. I have what it takes to understand the political makeup of situations, understand who key stakeholders are, and bring varying groups together with thoughtful leadership to get the job done and accomplish goals. During my term in office, I led a team to accomplish what I was elected to do and am proud of the hard work we put in as a collective. I own Guthrie Communications, LLC providing communication services for small organizations and public relations for Rosenberg Engineering. In my spare time, I run a channel travel called Debs Travel Vibe. My mom is behind the inspiration of my channel as she loved hearing about my travels as she had a fear of travel and always wanted me to share my experiences with her.
