About

Hi, I'm Natalie, and I'm the Director of Marketing & Communications at the Argyros Performing Arts Center here in Ketchum, Idaho. My passion lies in the world of live entertainment and supporting the arts, something I've been dedicated to for nearly nine years now, including my time at the Ross Ragland Theater in Southern Oregon. My career has evolved from hands-on event marketing and promotions to leading strategic marketing, brand development, and community engagement for multiple venues and organizations. My journey back to university in 2018 through Western Governors University (Marketing Management) and Sierra Nevada College (Digital Arts & Entrepreneurship) provided a solid foundation for scaling marketing systems, partnerships, and creative campaigns that drive attendance and immersion in the arts. That foundation, combined with my hands-on experience in venues, fuels my approach to marketing and advertising. I'm a firm believer in the power of the arts and the importance of helping organizations connect with their communities. While I'm constantly looking for ways to grow professionally—potentially pursuing additional certifications in visual arts or branding—the focus remains on delivering exciting performances and experiences to communities in Idaho and beyond. My background includes not just strategic marketing but also understanding the energy and dedication it takes to bring events to life, from early sales and promotional roles to leadership positions in marketing across nonprofit arts organizations. Having been an active member of the Linkville Playhouse for years, my commitment to the arts extends beyond my professional life. I'm always looking for meaningful ways to contribute to the communities I call home, just as I did in Southern Oregon.
