My career has centered on a passion for storytelling. Starting with the pursuit of journalism and television production degrees in college and taking on early career roles as a television reporter and news producer. Then, I led a national business development and technology consulting team in getting personal computers on the desks of media executives in Top 50 markets. With a turn from media to marketing, and co-founding two successful companies, I helped many Fortune 500's amplify their dominance by adding editorial content to their marketing mix. It’s been very rewarding to help many of the world’s most recognizable brands to navigate the rapidly changing, technology-driven inflection points—evolving their strategies from traditional and experiential to innovative and data-driven digital.I’ve now turned to a big mission in a hyperlocal environment as Publisher of Edible Bozeman, a printed magazine and online publication dedicated to telling the stories of local food and drink. Applying my business acumen to creatively share the important stories of people who provide a sustainable and respectful relationship with our environment and how it feeds us – is a worthy endeavor I’m honored to serve. SKILLS: Business development, marketing and advertising; content and shopper marketing; influencer marketing; consumer promotions, experiential marketing, and sponsorships; strategic partnerships and relationship management.
