BISHOP
In late 2015 I was commissioned by the Bishop Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau to produce content for the newly established Bishop Tourism Improvement District. I am part of a team of Bishop residents and Eastern Sierra locals who know and love this region and work to protect and promote it to conscientious travelers.
I have written numerous blog posts and created extensively researched landing pages, all of which have been leveraged in social media, in newsletters, and widely used throughout our new visitor guide. During the height of the pandemic from mid-2020 to mid-2021, I was furloughed and only a skeleton team was retained to manage our social media engagement and encourage potential visitors to shelter-in-place. The team maintained an active presence on social media promoting safety and keeping the allure of our big backyard alive.
I am very proud to be part of this team. Most of all, I am very grateful to have the opportunity to experience and explore this amazing place I call home and to share it with people around the globe.
The articles posted here are as published on BishopVisitor.com with links to the original publication. In some instances, especially for the longer and more complex landing pages, I have used an excerpt and encourage readers to follow the link and check out the whole page in situ.
I have also produced a large portfolio of images. During my research and writing I realized that I needed to illustrate my stories more effectively. My style is simply to capture the sights as I see them and the feelings they evoke. Unless otherwise attributed, and for which usage has been granted by the photographer, images on this website are my own work. All images are subject to copyright.
