What do you do at Big Valley Marketing?
I’m both a client partner and media + influencer lead. It’s a hybrid position that allows me to leverage my client service experience and the media relations skills I have honed throughout my career. Being able to do both was very important to me; I love connecting the dots/ rally the troops for my clients to help them achieve their communications goals while also being on the front lines telling their stories to media and other influencers.
Why Big Valley Marketing?
There’s this old saying, “the PR industry seems small at times” and this directly ties to the relationships you build throughout your career. At Big Valley Marketing I get to work with old friends (you know who you are) again and collaborate with new ones.
What it boiled down to for me are people and culture. Big Valley has some of the best people around, and awesome people translates to great culture
What’s one thing fun or surprising/unexpected about you?
When I was 16 years old, I worked at the local thoroughbred racetrack as a hot walker where I walked horses around the shed row before and after workouts…the job also required me to muck out their stalls at times. Shortly after, my parents packed up the kids and moved outside of the city, and BOOM, my horseracing career was over! To this day, I remain a fan of the sport, and have tuned into the first Saturday in May (Kentucky Derby) for more than 30-years. Giddy up!
