Cassie’s background is in event management and marketing. She worked in higher education, both in admissions and career services for several years in Denver, CO at a private university, Johnson & Wales University. After spending time planning events for the university, she shifted career paths and joined a digital marketing firm. While the firm worked with mostly local clients in Denver, the staff was remote and worked to serve clients in many different states.

While working there, she learned about digital marketing including website design, graphic design, print marketing and more.
​After living in Denver for several years, Cassie decided to make a move to be closer to family. Knowing that she still needed mountains or hills, she landed in the Black Hills. Just far enough from family! Cassie didn’t spend much time in the Black Hills area before, but knew of the Deadwood and Lead communities. So when, the position at the Homestake Opera House opened, it seemed like a perfect fit.
