CBC (Cleveland Business Connects) Magazine is a corporate events, networking and business trends magazine in Northeast Ohio. I served as the Circulation Manager handling our 20,000 copies that are distributed through out Northeast Ohio. I created relationships with national retailers with a start-up publication and I increased sales and dropped distribution costs substantially. In addition to my role as Circulation Manager, I helped coordinate our five events per year, assisted our editor with editorial and layout each issue, and assisted our sales staff with marketing and advertising initiatives. In addition to CBC, the publisher owns a prestigious design firm where I managed accounts and handle production work on the creative side, so I have experience in Adobe Creative Suite.

I started my internship with WKNR in the spring of 2005 in the promotions department. I was hired on shortly after as a Promotions Assistant setting up broadcasts, running promotional events put on by the station, updating the station website, board operations, beat reporting for high school football and The Lake Erie Monsters-the AHL hockey team in Cleveland. I was also a feature voice on "The Really Big Show" hosted by Tony Rizzo weekday mornings.
