My PR career started in the mountain town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming after college (Go Dawgs) - where I worked alongside seasoned PR professionals and dipped my toes into lifestyle, travel, and tourism communication strategies. I then pivoted into event facilitation for the town of Jackson Hole and helped curate every detail around local events as well as the town's largest annual event, The Fall Arts Festival.
Recognizing that brand storytelling and building relationships on a larger level was my passion, I fell back into PR and spent the next four years landing national media placements for brands from Eddie Bauer and Revo to active lifestyle nonprofits and outdoor startups. I moved East to Virginia in 2015 and focused my PR efforts in a more digital-focused space, targeting healthcare, commercial real estate, and local business awareness needs.
Now based in Portland, Maine, I am bringing my 15 years+ in PR, events, and brand strategy experience to serve local brands and initiatives - from active lifestyle to outdoor to small business.
