I'm honored and humbled to be named 2022 Maine Salesperson of the year by the Maine Press Association for my leading sales and customer service. I currently work under Masthead Maine, a network of independent newspapers across the state who acquired the Sun Journal in 2017, following the Sun Journals 2012 purchase and transition of MyJobWave.com & Employment Times into their existing publications. I didn't necessarily change jobs, merely evolved into a larger more diversified role offering more options to my customers. I work primarily for the Sun Journal as their sole Inside Sales Account Executive of Special Sections and sole Employment Specialist, offering print, digital & online job board employment advertising options for our entire network. The key is that I can offer one-stop-shopping for employment advertising across the state now, including our network wide online job board on the LiveAndWorkInMaine.com website. As the Inside Sales Executive, I procure print & digital advertising sponsorship for Special Sections and Seasonal Directories. Maintaining annual projects and developing new local interest sections. As the Employment Specialist, I continue to care for my local businesses through diverse sales and as their constant employment advertising guru. Masthead Media Includes: Sun Journal, Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram, Central Maine: Kennebec Journal / Morning Sentinel, The Times Record, The Forecasters (6 editions), Western Maine Weeklies (6 publications), Ellsworth American & Mount Desert Islander Weeklies, Courier Weekly Publications (4 publications), and Mainely Media Weeklies (5 publications).

Employment Times and MyJobWave.com are print and web-based publications connecting local employers with local jobseekers across Maine. As a sales account executive specializing in employment advertising, I advise local businesses of their advertising options, close sales, and maintain long-term relationships with my customers. Managing the sales and creative design of print ads and online job board postings, is only a fraction of my job. The truly rewarding part, that I excel at and enjoy the most, is customer service. I make a point to educate myself on every facet of my job including in-house facts, statistics and trends, as well as local/national data. I become an expert in what I do, so that I can be the expert my customers need and deserve.
