As a seasoned writer and publishing professional, I understand the complexities of great storytelling and how to bring attention to those stories through social and traditional media channels. What’s more, my organizational skills and precise project management talents ensure that projects are completed on time and on budget. My communications positions in smaller non-profit organizations have given me amazing opportunities to serve in many roles and become proficient at tasks that span the complete process of digital and traditional storytelling...from interviewing, outlining, writing, and proofreading; to scripting, prop-shopping, shooting, and editing. I have enjoyed learning the entire process of publishing and video production to craft interesting stories that rise above the everyday media noise. Using analytics and data to develop messaging, I have created targeted communications for television, video, radio, public relations, print, and social media. As a former instructor for several higher education institutions and a spokesperson for the Better Business Bureau, I am comfortable speaking to both large groups and media representatives. In addition to my public relations and marketing experience, I have a deep interest in our state and shining a spotlight on the unique stories of Wisconsin. I own two properties in Door County and am invested in the travel and tourism industry in our state by holding memberships in the Door County Tourism Commission and Door County North.
