I am a committed, ethical professional with 15+ years of experience and proven knowledge of Broadcast Media, Messaging, Fundraising, Event Planning, Association Management and Community Advocacy. I leverage my skills to manage and lead my team and projects to success with efficiency, compassion and clarity. I am a former tv news reporter who thrives in a creative and developing environment. Every day is a new opportunity for a story to be told. I am a self-starter who sees a question or a problem as an opportunity to be creative in order to build a path toward a solution. I am able to create and manage projects including, media relations, fundraising, and large-scale events to further your goals. When not chasing a story, or fundraising for a cause, you'll probably find me on a river or a trail - or, at the very least, planning my next adventure. Most importantly, I am an Army Mom devoted to improving the health and wellness of our veterans and active service members who have dedicated their lives to our country.
