"Jocelyn is a versatile and creative talent with a proven track record of building quality relationships," Editor and Publisher Josh Johnson said. "I expect that The Splash and The Current - and our advertisers by extension - will benefit greatly from her expertise."

A graduate of Michigan State University, Stott most recently worked as a communications consultant for Community Colleges of Spokane and in a freelance capacity helping a number of local businesses and organizations, including as a freelance contributor for The Splash and The Current. Stott moonlights as a therapeutic riding instructor. 

"While so many other media sources seem to move further away from the pulse of our communities, I've always appreciated the local stories and advertising found in The Splash and The Current," Stott said. "Not only are we blessed to live in the natural beauty of the Coeur d'Alene-Spokane region, we also have amazing neighbors. It's so inspiring to hear their stories. I look forward to collaborating with people to promote and prosper the businesses that make our area great."
