As a lobbyist one of the keys to success is relationship building and there are few people who invest more of their time in relationship building around the state than Cortni. With a brain that seemingly keeps a rolodex on file of anyone whom she has crossed paths with, she knows who best to connect folks with when it comes down to decision making and coalition building on both sides of the aisle.
Cortni served as Deputy Finance Director to Governor Gretchen Whitmer before joining PAA in 2021. During her time with the Governor she was responsible for stakeholder outreach on behalf of the campaign, as well as building robust relationships to fundraise record amounts of money. Prior to her time with Governor Whitmer, she spent time at Capitol Affairs as a legislative aide and was a legislative intern in the office of former State Senator Steve Bieda.
Cortni is a Beal City, MI native and currently resides in Grand Ledge with her fiance Nick and their dog Cash. She spends much of her time traveling or sporting Green and White as she cheers on her alma mater, Michigan State University.
