As the Manager of Marketing and Communications at The Fine Arts Association, I am responsible for educating the public about all of the wonderful programs, classes, events and opportunities that FAA offers. From news releases, brochures, photography, outreach events and radio, to the FAA website, social media, newsletters and more, I ensure organizational awareness and visibility. What I have enjoyed most about this position since joining the FAA team in May of 2019 is being surrounded by the creative culture of artists, arts advocates, and our dynamic faculty! I am honored to be a part of Lake Communicators!
