Ivy Vaughn: Media Coordinator

We were so impressed with Ivy when she was Media Intern for us in Fall 2013, and we are thrilled to have her back as a Media Coordinator. Ivy is doing amazing work on the CU Denver, CU Boulder, Innovage and VISIT DENVER accounts.

Ivy grew up in Springfield, IL with her parents, three siblings and two dogs, before she heading West to Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA. While at Pepperdine, Ivy joined Pi Beta Phi sorority and Sigma Tau Delta, English Honors Society. Ivy spent her sophomore year of college at Pepperdine’s campus in Lausanne, Switzerland. One might call it a “Swim-Ski” curriculum that included a summer seminar in Creative Writing at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge in England. Ivy graduated from Pepperdine with a B.A. in English Literature.

After college, Ivy stayed on the West Coast and worked in marketing, advertising, and sales positions at boutique fashion stores in Malibu, Los Angeles and Denver. Before joining Karsh-Hagan, Ivy worked as a Social Media Strategist and Project Manager for a Denver-based PR and Marketing Firm.

When Ivy’s not at work, you will find her running through Wash Park, or going the distance in marathons. To date, Ivy has crossed the line in 5 half-marathons and 2 full marathons. During the winter, you will find Ivy on the slopes. She hasn’t missed a season since her parents put her in ski school at the age of three!
