| Introduction | Hands down I am unabashedly me. I am also the euphoric wife of Skip, my best friend, soul mate, lover and playmate. I am an adoring mom & grammy (yes, I know - I'm too young - oh, go on!) and general lover of life. I have a B.A. in Mass Communication from SUNY Plattsburgh (go Cardinals!) I thought my goal was to be the next Katie Couric -- but then did my internship at Glens Falls Communications (stellar PR firm in Glens Falls, NY) and my goals and interest shifted. I now have 20 years experience in broad-based marketing communications, with a focus on not-for-profits. Skip and I were both born-n-raised in the Adirondacks, spent 17 years touring the East Coast, making our home in Myrtle Beach, Virginia Beach and Baltimore before returning to our ADK roots the Christmas of 2009. I currently head marketing and communications for the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce and look forward to what's next. Thanks for being along for the expedition. |
