Maren Higbee
Maren is an Emmy nominated producer and writer. After many years in the industry, she decided to update her skills and received her Master’s in Digital Communications from the University of Washington in June of 2015. She is honored to now work inside the communications program as a lecturer and Research Fellow. After a few years of working on a variety of projects, she found herself entrenched in the brand-new Reality TV business. Maren’s passion for telling others’ true-to-life stories inspired her to write a fictional novel as a reflection of actual occurrences in her life as a single, successful professional. What she calls her labor of love has become her most recent success. Her novel, Lana Fray and the Grand Plan, became the 2015 Indie Book Reader winner for the Chick-lit category. Her next book, The Cancer Patient’s Wife, is currently in the works, and is expected to release in November of 2021. She spent three years as Executive Producer for Mighty Media Studios creating and running a successful talk show for Microsoft called Modern Workplace until she stepped back to run Business Development so she could assist her husband during his cancer battle. Maren is a native of Seattle where she resides with her husband, Brandon, and her four-legged furry love, Tippi. In her spare time, she enjoys exploring new restaurants, long walks outdoors, and – if you get her on the right day –even skydiving.
