Teresa Moore, a PR professional with more than 20 years experience in communications and the news media, is president of Moore Ink. She provides personal attention to each client and leads all strategic development and implementation. She promises to devote herself to your PR goals with the same enthusiasm and spirit as she does when zipping through the treetops of Whistler, B.C.!

After 10 years as a newspaper reporter covering political affairs in Texas and Louisiana, Teresa Moore began her work in public relations at the Texas State Department of Education. She headed to the Pacific Northwest to manage communications and PR for the Washington Education Association, where she worked for more than nine years. After serving as Vice President/Corporate Communications for Premera Blue Cross, she launched Moore Ink. in June 1999.

Pam McGaffin is a Public Relations Specialist for Moore Ink.

In addition to generating major media coverage, her bylined client articles have appeared in dozens of local newspapers and magazines. Pam also excels in writing and project management for client publications. She gets as much delight from contributing to our clients' causes as she does getting kisses from Josie.

Pam holds a degree in journalism and communications from the University of Washington. Before joining the Moore Ink. team in 2002, Pam was a newspaper reporter for The Herald in Everett for 15 years. An avid soccer player, Pam and her husband, public affairs consultant Mark Funk, have two energetic young boys, Charlie and Casey, and a really cool rescue dog named Ben.

Mike has a bachelor’s degree in business management from Augustana College and an associate of arts degree in journalism from Blackhawk College in Illinois. Mike is active in the Washington Athletic Club and is a devoted fan of the Seattle Mariners and Seattle Seahawks. He loves his work almost as much as chilling out at the marina in Cabo San Lucas.

Josie Moore, Director of Squirrel Chasing, joined our team in 2002. She excels at rolling over so you can rub her tummy, giving kisses, and demanding attention when we’re on deadline. Adorable and affectionate, she shares an office with Mike and his recliner.
