Independent public relations consultant providing service in publicity, media relations, special event planning, Promotions, event coordination, social media and marketing

When I entered the work force fresh out of the Creative Communications program at Red River College back in the late 1980’s, I never would have imagined where my journey in the PR world would lead me.

From community television to agencies to corporate and non-profits, I have developed and implemented PR strategies; coordinated special and annual events; wrote campaigns, publications and annual reports; managed media relations activities and the list goes on and on.

Aside from the experience, awesome portfolio pieces and a corner office, one of the most valuable assets that I took from those early years were the relationships in the industry that I had established which made going out on my own in 2000 that much easier.

For over 35 years, I’ve been privileged to work with exceptional clients and have partnered with other PR professionals and agencies that have called on me to work on a variety of projects on their behalf.

My Experience

I have worked with multiple Cirque du Soleil productions, Walking with Dinosaurs on two occasions, and How to Train your Dragon Arena Spectacular. I have also worked in the arts, culture, music and tourism industry by promoting events such as the 2014 JUNO Awards, Culture Days, National Congress on the Arts, Manitoba Homecoming, Winnipeg BBQ & Blues Festival, Saison Voyageur and various performances and concerts.
