Just the facts, ma'am.

Here's a rundown of positions I've held and accomplishments I've had. (You know: the dreaded bio, where I could sound a wee bit full of myself.)

My media industry accomplishments include:

  • writing more than 10,000 news and feature stories and documentaries.
  • significantly improving ratings at every radio and TV station I worked at.
  • producing promotional videos, documentaries, commercials, TV and radio news programs, and online audio and video.
  • creating a series of podcasts that was among the top-rated in its category on iTunes.
  • winning national, regional, and local awards for journalism, for producing election coverage, and for best radio personality and most-liked TV anchor.

Media jobs I’ve had include:

  • television news anchor and reporter (large and medium markets)
  • morning radio personality (large and medium markets)
  • national cable TV host (channel penetration: 29 million)
  • radio news director (large and medium markets)
  • freelance writer (magazine, newspaper)
  • freelance producer (Starz & Encore movie channels)

And here’s my business world (non-media industry) experience:

  • Jobs I’ve held: head of publicity and promotions for a book publishing company… marketing manager and VP of service quality development for a $105-million regional financial institution… communications director for an international non-profit organization… marketing specialist and web site developer
  • Accomplishments include: dramatically increasing revenue, product usage, media hits, and web site traffic

Oh, and I’ve been a professional actress — on stage, in industrial films and commercials, and in highly acclaimed improv comedy troupes.

I know, I know… it sounds like I must be 109 years old to have done all of this, but I'm not. I'm 104.
