Saint Paul Winter Carnival

Public Relations Director

I taught music in Minnesota, Colorado and Wyoming until vocal cord problems required a career change. Little did I realize that the promotional work I did as a band director, my love of puns and music's emotive capabilities would propel me to a successful marketing communications career. I no longer apologize for this. I smile, knowing how and why these two careers aligned. I, once again, made lemonade from lemons, as the poster my students gave me says.
