Kevin James Woodworth

Welcome to The Woodiverse!

My name is Kevin James Woodworth, and this site serves as a professional online portfolio — a comprehensive look into my professional journey, creative work, and personal interests.

I like to describe myself as an outgoing, open-minded, and driven communications professional with a strong passion for media relations and strategic storytelling. I thrive in fast-paced environments where ideas can be developed, refined, and brought to life. From an early age, I found fulfillment in transforming my visions into reality, whether through media production, writing, or collaborative creative work.

My passion for media began in high school, where I immersed myself in broadcast production and studio operations. I gained hands-on experience managing production schedules, operating and managing the control room, coordinating camera sequences, and contributing both behind and in front of the camera during live news broadcasts. Through academic media projects, I further developed skills in directing, producing, scriptwriting, editing, and on-screen performance. These experiences shaped my versatility in media relations and broadened my horizons to the endless possibilities in such a thrilling and thriving industry.

That foundation carried into my college career at Kean University, where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Communication Studies in 2023. My coursework and project work spanned mass media, broadcasting, scriptwriting, video editing, journalism, digital production, sports communications, business communications, and public relations. During this time, I solidified my commitment to building an encompassing career within the media relations industry.

Following graduation, I began my professional career as a freelance writer, producing timely, meaningful content focused on current news and public-interest topics.

In early 2025, I joined CMI Media Group & Compass within the Public Relations & Growth department. What began as an internship quickly evolved into a full-time position as Associate, Public Relations & Corporate Communications. In this role, I drafted and edited press releases, bylines, and award nominations to amplify executive visibility, managed multi-platform social media, coordinated industry conference logistics, and compiled quarterly PR reports. My contributions helped secure multiple significant industry recognitions — including the CEO of the Year honor at the PM360 ELITE Trailblazers Awards and a published byline in the Healthcare Marketer's Exchange (June 2025).

Living life at full speed

Outside of my professional work, I value time spent with family and friends, riding my horse Jesse, working on home improvement projects, exploring new music, fishing, and creating digital content.
