In that position, Felicia oversaw national media campaigns for multi-million dollar programs including Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience (named by the Washington Post as one of the 10 best non-fiction publications of 2006), NEA Jazz Masters, The Big Read, and Shakespeare in American Communities.Then, in January 2009, back in Maine, she launched her own strategic media consulting firm, Knight Vision International, LLC.
