Experience

  • Director of Tourism at Callaway County Tourism Board
    Aug 2015 - Present · 11 yrs

    After an eight year hiatus from the hospitality industry, I returned to my roots as tourism director for my hometown, Fulton - Callaway County, Missouri. I am excited to tell the stories of a rich history that ranges from the civil war era to the iconic "iron curtain" speech delivered in Fulton by Winston Churchill. The National Churchill Museum, Brick District and Auto World Museum provide fascinating glimpses of our past. We are enriched and inspired by fine artists and craftsmen, small businesses, wineries, hotels, B&Bs and agritourism attractions. We have an abundance of natural beauty, including parks, nature areas and a section of the Katy Trail State Park. www.visitfulton.com
