I love golf and the people you meet on the course! If you play golf, you are my friend 🙂
I love competition of any kind, board games, rock/paper/scissors, anything and everything. Competition is fun.
Dislikes:
Cold winter days not on a ski slope.
I hate that I am a picky eater, I always try to expand my taste, but it comes with a lot of anxiety.
As the visionary of ODN I love spending time with our team, partners and clients. A large part of my role is to look beyond what we have right in front of us to continue to take ODN to the next level. I enjoy engaging with various industry groups and recruiting top industry talent!

People who don’t do what they say they are going to do
I envision and create tools for the OOH industry to improve the lives of our clients and employees. I love identifying painful processes and replacing them with solutions that give people back their time.
Likes:
Debating anything, which some people might call arguing.
Evolution. I love to see old things become new things.
Building anything with my daughter and basking in her joy of discovery.
Dislikes:
Spreadsheets. Seriously. I’d replace all of them.
Asparagus. I keep waiting for my “adult” tastebuds to adapt to it, but they continue to revolt.
I drive agency growth, oversee several of our largest accounts, and tour the country (via Delta or Zoom) uncovering both agencies and brands that are frustrated with the OOH buying process.
Likes:
Solving Problems
Exploring this earth with my family. Traveling, road trippin, fishing, boating, skiing, you name it. We call it ‘splorin and ‘speriencin and it’s what we live for.
Dislikes:
Wet socks or as I refer to it, “Wet Sock Syndrome” – It’s unavoidable living in MN with all the snow traipsing in and leaving hidden puddles all over the floor.
I manage an awesome team that brings everything to life for our clients. Since ODN is a growing company, bringing processes up-to-date for our growing company is a high priority.

My Old Kentucky Home. I bleed blue and enjoy attending UK football and basketball games with my family.
Vegas Baby! Nothing like the energy around a hot craps table.
Dislikes:
Cold weather. Prefer to travel north in July only.
Procrastination.The best time to accomplish your goal is now.
I have been in OOH for 30 years and am passionate about helping brands eliminate waste and replace it with plans that deliver real value, make an impact and achieve results. I do this with open collaboration, hard work, integrity, and a sense of humor.
Likes:
Spending time outdoors hiking, biking, skiing, paddleboarding, or sitting on a rock taking in the view with a glass of wine. Not surprising that I ended up in “Outdoor” Advertising.
I love meeting new people; learning what makes them tick and making a connection.
Dislikes:
I dislike taking showers in a new place as I am always scared of getting scalded. But this doesn’t stop my love of travel. Just adds a shot of adrenaline when I step into the shower.
I dislike pessimistic thinking. There is always a bright side.
I bring a new approach to OOH for our clients taking their ideas beyond traditional and into their target audience’s hands, literally, through experiences.
Likes:
Creating – events, crafts, spreadsheets, memories with my family, chaos, anything new.
COFFEE, copious amounts of coffee.
Dislikes:
Heights, can’t do them. I will literally freeze and require assistance to move.
Repetition, I thrive on constant change and do not like it when life feels too routine.
I do a little bit of everything, from DOT to Contracting. I reach out to all the states to ensure there are DOT logos (the big blue signs) available. I also secure agreements with the clients and vendors for the contracting side!
Likes:
Being at the beach, and eating all the seafood!
Animals, if I could I would have a farm so I can have all the animals!
Dislikes:
Dirty dishes / house, our sink must be empty and house clean or I freak out!
I strive to make the art portion of the process as pain free as possible by providing as much direction as I can based on years of experience working with creative that fits OOH.
I get to work with clients every single day. Seriously – it’s the best thing about my job. I love hearing their goals and how we can help accomplish them. We are only a small part of a client’s campaign, but I want it to be the best part for them.
Likes:
Traveling anywhere. I will go to the middle of nowhere and find something I liked about that place. If it’s a new place – I’m going!
Weather most people don’t like is my favorite! Foggy & Misting? I’m all about it. Storms rolling in? I’m outside waiting for it
My role is focused on client satisfaction and ensuring campaigns go off without too many issues. Uncovering client goals, hopes and wishes for any OOH campaign is the best, even just in our OOH portion of the overall campaign.
Likes:
New experiences. I love finding a new spot to grab coffee, a new favorite book, a new favorite getaway around town.
As someone who is very plan oriented, I love creating a plan and sticking to it.
Dislikes:
People who stand by the airport gate waiting to get on the plane. What are you doing? We have assigned seats. They aren’t leaving you.
When people reply all to an email that didn’t call for a reply all response. Quit clogging up the emails!
I partner with clients, media buyers, vendors and internal teams to make sure our OOH plans exceed expectations.
Likes:
Traveling. My husband and I are on a mission to visit all 50 states together. 32 down, 18 to go!
Pinot Noir. Especially if I’m drinking it by a fire, on a sunset cruise or surrounded by good people.
Dislikes:
Paper straws. I know they are better for the environment but when you’re trying to sip on a beverage and the straw disintegrates in your mouth, it’s disgusting.
I get to work with some of the best and brightest clients, partners and team members to provide exceptional, hyper-local OOH campaigns on a national level. One of my favorite parts of what I do is when I get to introduce new agencies or clients to what sets us apart from our competitors. Give us a chance and see how we can help simplify the OOH buying process.
Likes:
Spending time with “My People” – My little family, extended family & friends that have become family.
Smiling! It’s the easiest way to make the world a better place.
Dislikes:
Negative Nancy’s
The dark. It’s not that I’m afraid of the dark, more that I’m afraid of what’s in the dark.
If you ask my daughter “I email all the important people to help them put ads on billboards. I help decide where they go and when to take them down.” I also build relationships with our clients and vendors alike to ensure we’re simplifying and executing the best OOH plan possible.
Likes:
I love seeing something come together from nothing, be it a client’s campaign or a project around the house.
Playoff hockey, there’s truly not a better time of the year.
Dislikes:
I don’t like clutter or disorganization, both really grind my gears.
I dislike not being able to find a solution to a problem or solve an issue.
My end goal for my clients and agencies at ODN is the true simplification of the OOH buying and planning process for them. I want to be the conduit to get their plans done efficiently and effectively- from posters on highway 63 heading into Ottumwa Iowa, to large-scale digital placements in Times Square.
