My career has encompassed more than 20 years in the communications field and I am currently employed at Bradley University as University Spokesperson and Executive Director of Public Relations. I also serve as a member of the President's Administrative Council. Prior to this role at Bradley, I served as spokesperson and Director of Public Affairs/Media Relations for a non-profit specializing in economic development in Peoria IL. I provide freelance media relations & communications consulting services to organizations and businesses throughout the Greater Peoria region. Before getting into the PR and Media Relations field, I spent 15 years as a reporter, anchor, producer and host on television and radio in Peoria, IL; Madison, WI; and Lexington, KY. It has been an honor to have received multiple awards for my communications work and leadership skills including the PRA of Central Illinois 2018 PR Professional of the Year, 25 Women in Leadership Award (2013), Ten Outstanding Young Professionals of Illinois (2012), YWCA Leader in Arts, Communication & Media Award (2011) and Peorias 40 under 40 Leaders (2010). Serving on multiple non-profit boards and committees throughout the region has also provided me valuable leadership tools and community connections. I currently serve on the Goodwill Industries of Central Illinois Board of Directors and the Quest Charter Academy Marketing and Development board. I do volunteer work for many other organizations throughout the region. I represented the State of Illinois in 2000 as Miss Illinois USA.
