Vikki Downs, Director of Marketing

Vikki Downs is committed to working smart, building connections and contributing value. She originally saw herself doing this as a Court Stenographer and tailored her education accordingly. After graduation but before employment, Vikki’s well laid plans were unexpectedly yet joyfully abandoned to invest fully in raising her two daughters who proved to be her life’s dearest treasures. While impressing upon her children the importance of being life-long learners who don’t expect education to be handed out but rather sought and devoured veraciously, Vikki lived that principle. Through study, mentors and innovation, she volunteered and served in many capacities including event coordination, workshop-management, private school educator and community program director. Upon re-entering the workforce full-time, Vikki discovered Cedar Fort Publishing & Media and was immediately inspired again to commit herself, time, and talents to a career. As Marketing Director, Vikki is eager to forward Cedar Fort’s mission to work in partnership with dedicated creators to develop and publish wholesome, life-enhancing content that serves individuals in strengthening self, family and community.
