Stacey Rynders enjoys strategic thinking and a good story. While her parents still dream law school is in her future, Stacey is usually caught with a crossword puzzle (seeking the perfect word), perusing a publication or instigating random conversation with a new acquaintance. Moreover, she listens to NPR all day and must have news with her morning tea. So, it’s no surprise that her ambiguous writing degree led (via a few detours in thrifty travel) to a Masters in Journalism from Mizzou, an experience that fueled her ambition and led her from managing editor to entrepreneur. Each step proved a new challenge for her passion as a communications strategist. Along the way Stacey discovered some of her favorite things to do – connect people to success, craft a good story, strategize a marketing plan and meet new people and challenges.

Of course, Stacey Rynders’ resume holds more professional details.
