Connector, promoter, Storyteller, advisor

I am a seasoned publicist with over 25 years of experience in media relations, influencer marketing, reputation and brand management, and social media strategy. I started my career in Silicon Valley driving agency teams for notable high-tech clients such Intel and Epson. But a love of cooking and all things food related fueled a transition into San Francisco’s culinary scene, publicizing some of the Bay Area’s most notable restaurants. In 2007, I was lured to the Pacific Northwest, eager to tap into the region’s creative atmosphere, evergreen trees, sparkling coastline, and the vibrant food scene.

However, my most cherished position was one I took on voluntarily. As a young adult I was an Activities Director for a youth summer camp, organizing what I like to call “good chaos”. In many ways, my drive to work with creatives, entrepreneurs, artisans, and emerging brands is a continuation of that role, working with them to find their audience, become better evangelists, launch a business, or tell their story to the press.
