Welcome to Gulch Media

Hi, I’m Lee Ann Moyer. Nice to meet you.

I began Gulch Media in 2016 as a side project while working as a clinical speech-language pathologist in a local hospital. My previous career in communications continued to bring occasional writing opportunities across my desk, and Gulch Media gave me the opportunity to flex my creative muscles.

At the start, everything from writing to web design fell under the Gulch Media umbrella. Over time, the focus shifted to communications consulting and regular assignments for The Oregonian. As projects picked up, I eventually left the medical field to pursue Gulch Media full-time. I also became the owner of Portland Mom Collective, a digital publication for Portland-area families. While there, I oversaw our sales staff and our team of writers. A selection of that work is included in this portfolio. Note: Portland Mom Collective was sold in 2023 and now operates under a new name, Portland Moms.

In 2021, I returned to health care, this time bringing two professional worlds together in a communications role at Oregon Health & Science University. As my responsibilities at OHSU grew, I gradually stopped accepting new projects through Gulch Media, and this site evolved into an archive of my work. In 2024, I joined LifeWorks NW as Director of Marketing and Communications, where I continue to blend my health care background with my communications expertise in the nonprofit sector.

I received my degree in journalism summa cum laude from the American University of Paris, and earned two master’s degrees: the first in linguistics from L’Universite de Paris - La Sorbonne and a second from Portland State University in Speech and Hearing Sciences. A true language nerd, I speak fluent French, passable Spanish (it usually comes out at least partially in French), and terrible Arabic (though it’s my favorite language to study!).

I am a mom to four children, two dogs, three cats, and an ever-growing jungle of plants. There is never a dull moment. If there were, I’d likely spend it at the gym, in the woods, or in my house doing something crafty.
