PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Radio/TV Coordinator, Minnesota House of Representatives, St. Paul, MN 1997 - 2017
Accomplishments
 I worked to help legislators get their messages out by producing more than 1,000 interviews, news actualities and videos in
the 2015-16 biennium.
 I organized one-on-one weekly meetings with 40 to 50 members to help them execute their communications plans. I
utilized my organizational skills to manage standing appointments with 30 House GOP members every week for radio
interviews, and another 10-15 members for video presentations.
 Attending committee meetings and House floor sessions, I gave lawmakers the opportunity to offer immediate feedback to
what was happening at the Capitol. So, I worked extra hours to make sure local media outlets had the audio and video cuts
from my legislators.
 I created and produced a number of internal reference documents, because it was important to me for legislators and staff
to remain fully informed.
 I helped save time and money by successfully ushering in new audio and video technologies that assisted our caucus in
distributing members’ radio and video cuts.
 I assisted in the production of campaign materials for legislators and candidates, using my print, radio, and video skills.
