25+ Years in the Communication Arts

My enchantment with books began long before I learned how to read. I traveled the world with them and met the most interesting characters who taught me how magical and adventurous life could be. I aspired to experience enchantment and awe by visiting places I was seeing in pictures. And I can say that I am truly blessed to have done so throughout the years, from the Andes to the Himalayas to Alaska’s Chugach range and the moonscape canyons of the American Southwest.

What I never would have known back then, is that I get to adventure travel through my clients in the same way. From day one, I insist on learning all about their origin story as the prelude to their 5- to 15-year vision statements. In this, I get to learn how it is to have dedicated a lifetime to their passion, their journey of discovery and sometimes adversity, and how to help others from their perspective.

From backstage to the board room, the operating room to the museum archives, the volume and diversity of experiences I have had working with clients big and small, corporate to corner store, is a privilege and a pleasure… and keeps me in a constant state of curious anticipation and appreciation for what’s next.
