Day to Day
I think I stayed in public media role for as long as I've had because I don't have a typical day. I'm curious about new things. Generally, I focus on the financial health of the station, making sure our aesthetic design, content, and promos look like Vegas PBS, and that our technology is up-to-date and anticipates the future. Some days I do all of one and none of the others, and some days are just a blend of different things. Some people thrive with a routine at work, but I don't.

The Noise I Shed
From Society in General:
"There was plenty of competition in network television, and public broadcasting. I was starting at a time when there weren't many female executives in leadership roles yet I was fortunate to work for very supportive bosses—male and female. "
