My independent media work has graced the front pages both local Denver, regional and national press

Magazine, The Associated Press, The Katie Couric Show, the L.A. Times and more. I also work digitally
with clients to create programs that will generate a digital presence on many platforms.
I was a major creative force behind the national recognized and award-winning (Silver Anvil) public

I directed regional media relations for the Ford Motor Company, managed the introduction of a pilot
program for Eastman Kodak, handled statewide publicity and special events for Rocky Mountain Health

products to travel and tourism, fashion, retail and general business. Clients included: Timex
Corporation; Gillette Safety Razor Division; Coca-Cola; Jamaica Tourist Board; Smuckers Jams and
Jellies and Golden Grain Rice-A-Roni. My work emphasis was garnering media attention in national
