Hello!
I lead the creative department at Statehood Media, handling design, art direction and photography for our publications. I also coordinate ads for our print products.
I am a native Montanan but have quickly learned to love the Pacific Northwest. I previously designed and edited for the Orange County Register, The Bulletin newspaper in Bend and Mamalode magazine before joining the Statehood team in 2017.
I love bringing content to life through creativity. Other interests include coffee, mountains and well-placed commas.

Hi I’m Jenny. I’m a native Oregonian and Portlander. I’ve raised three boys (now adults), and love spending time with my “current children,” my terriers, Bonnibelle and William Wallace. I’m passionate about my flower garden, and I love getting out into nature and experiencing the Northwest on weekend getaways, then relaxing on my porch with a glass of pinot noir (of course Washington and Oregon are the best) to watch the sunset.
I’m an expert in designing ad packages for destinations, wineries and restaurants. I’ve been all over the Northwest, and I always find myself in small towns that seem almost undiscovered. As the Director of Sales at Statehood Media, my role is to introduce restaurants, wineries, and destinations to a statewide audience. If you live in the Northwest you know that local means statewide, and that’s a great description of our readers. All the wonderful places I visit as I criss-cross Oregon and Washington deserve to be discovered! That’s part of our mission at Statehood Media, and it’s my personal mission as Director of Sales. Let’s get the word out for your business! Our ads are worth discovering as well, we have entry level prices suitable for any business, and if you want to focus on state residents, there’s really no better value than Statehood. Email me any time, I’d love to work with you!
