| Rebecca went to college as a theatre major. She changed major to Broadcasting when a friend who worked at the college radio station and NPR affiliate (KXCV-FM) suggested the skills that were required were the same and the work was steadier.
After returning home to Omaha, NE she secured an overnight position at KEZO-FM, the rock station she’d grown up listening to. She was promoted to Music Director in 1990 and was instrumental in the launch of its successful morning show, “Todd ‘n’ Tyler” now in national syndication.
In 1994 she moved to New York City to work for Scholastic New Media. While there she helped construct the Scholastic Place site for teachers and students and facilitate that service’s move from AOL to its an independant space on the web.
In 1997 Rebecca joined MJI Broadcasting as the Project Manager, New Business. In this capacity she was instrumental in the development of MJI’s innovative web solutions for radio stations, “Webmaster” and “E-Mail Director”. In 1999 she was promoted to Operations Manager of Affiliate Relations where she oversaw the day to day running of a department of 10 sales people in New York and 6 regional offices. Upon the sale of MJI to Premiere Radio Networks she was promoted to Director of Operations for Affiliate Sales.
In 2004 Rebecca joined long time colleague and friend Danno Wolkoff in Cleveland (Rocks!) OH to help develop programs and sales for his new company Envision Radio Networks. She held the position of Director of Affiliate Relations until 2006 when she was promoted to Vice President of Affiliate Relations. In this capacity she handled sales for the Top 20 markets, managed the sales team and helped grow the company from 3 shows/services to 21 and over a thousand radio station affiliates.
In 2008 she was recognized for her achievements with a promotion to Vice President of Sales. In this newly created position she will develop and head the company’s new sales division for local and national sponsorships and continue to handle affiliate relations duties in the major markets.
