Content Manager, Print/Web Production Director, Brand Journalist, Web Editor, Writer, Social Media Consultant, Web Publisher Self-motivated, vastly experienced Print/Web Production Director, Brand Journalist, creative writer and editor with strong communication and management skills and an excellent command of the English language. Paired with strong, proven management, production and editorial skills, I bring a truly professional, progressive and confident attitude to any media organization. My passion is stories, and my profession is helping companies find, develop and promote their stories to the world in their brand - and all companies have compelling, even dramatic, stories to tell. I also have a long history with advertising, specifically in the Advertising Operations area. From 1997 – 2004 I managed the entire Pre-Publishing department for The Denver Post – including through its transition through the JOA with The Rocky Mountain News into the Denver Newspaper Agency - and was promoted in 2004 to Director of Advertising Operations. In this role, I managed over 50 Advertising Operations professionals, supporting two Sales Teams of upwards of 100 Salespeople. This period of time may have been among the most tumultuous in my history with newspapers, as we literally re-worked the publishing business model to embrace online content, and to support advertisers in the same transitions. My long and well-tested history of increasing responsibility proves that I welcome new and difficult tasks and tackle them, and maintain a constant respect for both the work I do and the people for and with whom I work – both above and below me. I thrive in a multi-faceted, deadline-driven environment, and excel both independently and as part of a creative, progressive team.
