Before launching Show Ring PR, I spent over 20 years leading media strategy and brand storytelling for major companies, CEOs and nonprofits. I’m a longtime PR executive who launched Show Ring PR to bring professional strategy, storytelling and visibility to the dog world — combining career experience with a lifelong love for the sport.

What started with my Schipperke, Kermit — a top-ranked, multi–group placing Silver Grand Champion who’s competed at Westminster — turned into something bigger. I know what it takes to campaign a dog successfully: strategy, consistency and a little bit of sparkle. I’ve also built a 40,000-strong social media following around Kermit, showing how clear messaging can create real connection in the sport.

These days, I’m busy campaigning Kermit and beginning to introduce Pebble — our promising young Schipperke — to the ring. I’ve trained in nosework with Remy, our Dutch Shepherd and regularly volunteer my PR skills to support dog clubs and organizations that do great work behind the scenes. Over time, I’ve built an incredible network of mentors, handlers, trainers and lifelong friends — the kind of community that keeps this sport going.

At every dog show, every specialty, every event, I see opportunities to strengthen how we communicate, promote and connect — not just within the fancy but with the wider world. Social media has changed everything: it gives us the power to reach new audiences, grow participation and spotlight what makes this sport special. But as we evolve, we can’t lose the human connection at the heart of it all — the mentorship, the ringside support, the trusted vendors, the friendships and the knowledge passed down through conversation. I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma and I care deeply about helping the sport grow — through smart storytelling, stronger outreach and meaningful connection both online and in person.
