I love getting the magazine in the mail and reading the Since Time Immemorial series. It was great to see Dr. Lane featured for his work at the Lummi Tribal Health Clinic. He’s doing great work there. I started my cancer journey at this clinic and I feel like they’ve gone above and beyond to help me. I feel so fortunate to be able to access their services and thank you to Dr. Morgan who has been with me every step of the way.

What is your role at the magazine?

So, my job as a business and marketing strategist at K&L Media is to help the magazine become the ultimate guide to PNW living. That’s where I come in— I work with advertisers to create campaigns that really speak to our readers. Whether it’s print ads in our beautifully designed magazine, crafting sponsored content, or supporting events, my goal is to make sure K&L Media is the go-to source for all things PNW lifestyle.

What is your background?

I’ve got a BA in journalism and communications, and an MS in digital analytics, but that doesn’t mean I’m all stuffy and corporate. I’ve worked in marketing and sales for years, selling everything from toys to travel packages to publications. I’ve managed digital sales teams at Seattle Weekly and served as managing editor of the Bellingham Business Journal, but my real passion is helping businesses build their brand by teaching businesses how to extend their reach and their brand’s influence.

What are you most looking forward to working on at K&L Media?

Honestly, I’m excited to be a part of a magazine that’s all about celebrating the best of the PNW lifestyle, from the food and wine to the shopping and travel. Our audience is amazing and they love to have fun in the PNW, and I can’t wait to help connect them with advertisers who really get them. Whether it’s through print advertising, community outreach, or killer events, I’m all about making sure K&L Media is the ultimate guide to PNW living.
