Getting heard in Chicago, the “Windy City” is not for the meek and mild. And just in case you are not familiar with why Chicago is called the Windy City, here you go: "If you had always assumed that Chicago earned its nickname as the Windy City from the chilly gusts coming off Lake Michigan, you would be wrong. The city is windy, according to most local legends, because of the hot air bellowing from politicians."- J. Zeleny- NY Times. Meet Mika Stambaugh; an Emmy award winning journalist and dynamic entrepreneur known for her creative strategies in executing media and communication campaigns. Throughout her career, she’s been recognized for her creativity, hustle and leadership, including winning an Emmy in 2008 as a Field Producer at CBS 2 News Chicago.
