The President of this Chamber 'stole' me from a nearby newspaper, where I was a reporter. In addition to serving as a media spokesperson and managing communications for this Chamber, I wrote all their marketing programs and advertising, crafted speeches, spoke at events, conducted regular grand openings, represented the Chamber on a weekly morning radio program and developed membership enrichment programs. In the end, I increased their membership base by 20%.

As one of two reporters for this daily newspaper, I covered spot news and features, police, fire and city council / government beats.
