2026 marks 30 years since I moved to Traverse City and a decade with Trion Solutions. I enjoy working with business owners providing solutions to recruit and retain top talent and giving them more time to grow their business and revenue. I have many strong community ties, thanks to my long tenure as news anchor and reporter for CBS affiliate 9&10 News from 1996-2009. I also spent six years with Special Olympics Michigan and served Special Olympics Team USA in a variety of communications, marketing and development leadership roles. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communications from the University of Michigan Ann Arbor and an MLS in Interdisciplinary Technology from Eastern Michigan University. I also have my Resident Producer License in Life, Accident and Health Insurance.
