Payson Roundup | Payson, AZ

Tabatha Meador is the newest addition to the award-winning Payson Roundup staff.

Meador is out in the field selling advertising for the paper as a marketing consultant.

“I would like to take a minute and introduce myself to the community. I am new to the marketing and advertising world, but I have been working to get a degree in business management, with an emphasis on sales and marketing, from the University of Phoenix,” she said. “I have lived in the Payson area for about six years and love the small-town charm.

On the job for roughly six weeks, Meador said the highlight of every day is meeting with new people.

“I am quite impressed by the people and business owners in our community,” she said. “Everyone is genuinely friendly and caring.”

Besides meeting with residents and business owners, Meador says she also enjoys working with the paper’s team.

“I am so excited to be a part of the Roundup as everyone I work with shares the same common personality trait of kindness, thoughtfulness and strong desire to serve our community,” she said. “I look forward to a long career and building great friendships over the years.”

In her free time, Meador enjoys outdoor activities, including hiking, swimming and camping.

“I also enjoy playing my guitar, singing and writing songs.”
