Experience

1. Director of Underwriting & Strategic Partnerships

   C89.5 Fm

   Aug 2020 — Present · Seattle, WA, US

   Consistently exceeding revenue targets and increasing YOY underwriting partners through development of corporate, nonprofit, nightlife and local business sponsorships - many of them on annualized terms. Introducing digital tools to expand audience connection points with measurable impressions, which led me to launch and produce the station\'s first podcast series presented in partnership with Seattle Children\'s, 4Culture, WA Dept. of Health, Compass Health and more. Destigmatizing Mental Health from a teen’s perspective,\'Coping 101\' has since generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in sponsorship revenue and is increasingly attracting Underwriting partners in behavioral health and beyond. c89.5 fm is *Seattle\'s Home for Dance*, celebrating over 50 years on the air engaging generations of good-mood-groove-seekers with music & culture found nowhere else on the dial. A high school radio station with a revolving class of student voices, Rolling Stone has called KNHC \"the largest and most influential educational radio station in the country\". And we’re just getting started… STAY TUNED!
