Travel & Lifestyle focused Emerging Media Strategist
Greater Denver Area
Angela's entire professional career boils down to her desire to travel as much as humanly possible. After earning a degree in International Relations from Tulane University in record time, she was shocked to discover that there wasn't a company waiting at the graduation line to send a nineteen year old traipsing around the world. With a keen desire to pay the rent, she buckled down at an advertising agency in St. Louis, where her copy-editing skills and creative ideas moved her up the ranks and she discovered that she loved the creative nature of agency life and the field of communications.
Always on the look out for adventure, Angela relocated to Miami in 2002 and took on marketing and PR responsibilities for an iconic resort looking to re-brand. She was later recruited to Colorado to work at the corporate level for RockResorts, and then to the City of Denver during the two years leading up to the Democratic National Convention. While her focus remained media relations, her innate curiosity propelled her into the world of emerging media, a place that allows her to indulge in both communications and all manner of technical, geeky creativity.
In late 2008, following a widely successful Democratic National Convention (with more than 20,000 press attending from around the world), Angela moved back into the agency world with Turner PR. While she continues to focus on travel, she also gets to indulge in all things related to emerging media, and still travels frequently.
