small, eclectic pedestrian
shopping center in the heart of
downtown Winter Park,
Colorado.
The primary target market
is women between the ages of 25-
65 with families.
The goal for this ad was to convey
quality, variety and style of the

9. I have worked with numerous non-profit organizations to develop fundraising campaigns such as the two below. Middle
Park Land Trust works to protect the threatened Fraser River landscape and I work as a consultant to help develop
strategies to both raise awareness and to raise money to support their Fraser River Initiative.
10. As a member of the Board of Directors of Infinite West – building sustainable mountain
communities, I headed the committee for a Grow, Buy, Eat Local Campaign. I

were donated by a local printer. This campaign is ongoing in Grand County.

As a little girl I was forever exploring the
outdoors and seeking to protect the
delicate ecosystems around me. As I
grew up, I began to pursue habitat
sustainability in my studies. My Master's
Thesis was on aeronautic groundwater
pollution, and I focused much of my
Public Policy Research on
Environmentally Sensitive Habitats and
developmental protocols. In my career I
have worked on both superfund site
projects, and projects that worked to
ensure habitat conservation for the Santa
Success For Land Trust's
Fraser River Initiative
CHLT kicked off 2014 with its acquisition of a new conservation
easement as part of its Fraser River Initiative, a project the land trust
launched in 2010 to protect the private lands along the threatened
Fraser River.
Tabernash landowners William and Joyce Carpenter donated the
Craglough House Estates Conservation Easement to the land trust in
late December. This 80--acre conservation easement includes nearly
three--quarters of a mile of the Fraser River and is located
immediately south of the entrance to the Fraser River Canyon and
adjacent to large tracts of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land.

Colorado Headwaters Land Trust changed their name from
Middle Park Land Trust in 2013. The name change was a
strategic move that provided the unique opportunity to re-brand
and re-position the organization for future conservation and
funding opportunities. The name change was a huge success
drawing national and regional conservation attention. See
attachment for more information.

13. As Marketing Director at
Cooper Creek Square, I
launched a free summer
concert series called Music
On The Mall in 2006. I
continue to manage this

Attendance for this series
grew from about 20 to
well over 200 every
Friday throughout the
summer.
My responsibilities
include finding and
booking the musicians,
creating the graphics,
promoting the series
utilizing the press, radio,
social media, eNews,
websites, and through
