Meet MRM

  • Meet MRM: Milena Ulrich – Intern Editor

    Hi. I’m Milena—College Student, Intern, and Editor! I love fiction and nonfiction stories that help the lost and lonely find a sense of belonging.

    I enjoy working on the finer details of a piece to help bring the bigger vision to life, whether that’s through analyzing a character’s speech in a particular scene, choosing the perfect adjective to describe something, or tidying up grammar and punctuation that could otherwise distract from the main message.

  • Meet MRM: Hallie Woodham – Brand and Website Designer

    Hi. I’m Hallie, Brand and Website Designer.

    My love for creativity started early, and it’s what led me to become a graphic designer. Whether it was art camps, classes, or DIY projects, I’ve always been drawn to creating. Computers and software are also strengths of mine, which made graphic design the perfect fit. I graduated from Mississippi College in 2020, and I’m lucky to do what I love every day.

    In the past few months, I have enjoyed working on several MRM projects as an associate, and am excited to join the team this year.

  • Our Vision for 2025

    One of our team members has coined the phrase “February is the new January” this year, and we are fully embracing that sentiment as we somewhat tardily recap our 2024 year and share where our sights are set for 2025. Between milestone years for many of our families, some health and family challenges and losses, and another year of business and team refining, it’s taken us just a minute to catch our breath as we close out 2024 and look ahead to the new year.

    Join us as we attempt to summarize 2024 with Market Refined Media & Publishing!

  • Meet MRM: Christa Hutchins – Project Manager & Goal Strategist

    Hi. I’m Christa: Project Manager, Strategy and Accountability Coach, Encourager.

    I’m a doer at heart and love to do all the things. Whether it’s leading a team of engineers designing a world-scale chemical plant, or checking in kids to Sunday morning life group, you’ll often find me on the go.

    I have a special heart for women who are following their God-dreams while working a full-time job. I’ve also been working with writers and speakers for about 10 years.

  • Meet MRM: Jenifer Jernigan – Book Coach & Developmental Editor

    Hi, I’m Jenifer! Lover of stories, old things, and simplicity. Wife to an amazing man and mom to 3 incredible kids.

    Asking questions (I think this is where my counseling degree comes into play!) and leading someone to make their dreams become a reality is one of my greatest joys.

    As a Book Coach and Developmental Editor, I help others turn their ideas into sentences, sentences into paragraphs, and paragraphs into written works that will encourage, teach and inspire others.

    Refined Conference 2024: The Recap

    Last year, we hosted our first Refined Conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee, with a small group of attendees, five amazing speakers, and several of our team members present. It was a beautiful day of easy conversations, precious encouragement and worship, and true community.

    The Refined Conference 2024, held September 13-14, was intentionally designed to welcome in faith-based creatives from all phases and stages in their writing and business journeys and create space for genuine community and opportunity for support. The overarching theme in our hearts as we planned was “Living Out Your Calling”, whatever that calling is or whatever it might look like.
