Why work with me?
I’m an occupational therapist turned award-winning freelance journalist with bylines in outlets like The Washington Post, Runner’s World, and Time, who once got to interview Mindy Kaling.
I’m also a standup comic, the host of the Real Fit podcast, and one of the original co-producers of Boulder’s Listen To Your Mother Show, which consistently sold out under my leadership.
Thanks to my healthcare background and journalism career, I know how to ask the right questions—and listen deeply to the answers—so I can get to the heart of my clients’ needs.
As a writer and performer, I understand what your creative work means to you, and as a producer, I know what it takes to make an event a success.
As a journalist, I understand exactly how to talk to journalists so they pay attention.
Here’s a secret: I get dozens of PR pitches in my inbox every single day—and I send 99% of them right to the trash.
Most of the PR professionals sending those emails have no idea how to grab a journalist’s attention, what they can do to make our lives easier, or what we’re looking for in a potential story. With over ten years of experience writing for both local and top tier national media outlets, I have the skills and relationships it takes to get the media to cover your story and feature your insights.
I can’t promise you’ll get coverage. While I do have confidence and tenacity, I don’t have a crystal ball or any tolerance for BS.
P.S. I’ve gotten media coverage for myself and my clients in outlets including:
The New York Times
Runner’s World
Bicycling Magazine
Yahoo Life
Parents.com
9News Television
The Denver Post
KGNU Boulder Radio
Boulder Daily Camera
Boulder Weekly
The North Platte Telegraph
Capital Chat Juneau (radio)
The Source (Washington University’s alumni magazine)
Highly rated podcasts such as Hit Play Not Pause, Not Your Average Runner, The Movement Movement, Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship

“I had the pleasure of working with Pam on the PR for my comedy show, Second Chance Comedy.
With Pam’s help, my show gained significant visibility and credibility. She helped me prepare a comprehensive press kit and coached me on how to handle media interviews, which made a tremendous difference. Her efforts led to two local media outlets featuring my show, giving it the exposure it needed.
I especially appreciated Pam’s personalized approach; she took the time to understand my story and my goals, and she tailored her PR strategies to fit my needs perfectly.
I was also impressed with her exceptional organizational skills, her vast network of media contacts, and her ability to provide clear, actionable advice. She not only helped me get the word out about my show but also empowered me with the knowledge and confidence to continue promoting it effectively on my own.
Pam is a true PR professional who genuinely cares about her clients' success. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to boost their visibility and make a lasting impact.”
