Peanutter to Communicator: The Story Behind “Trail Mix Talya”
In this episode of DPS Stories, we sit down with Talya Cohen, a DPS Communications Specialist known around the team as “Trail Mix Talya.” Before joining Denver Public Schools, Talya spent a year traveling the country as a Planters “Peanutter,” representing the brand in communities across the U.S., pitching local events, volunteering, meeting unexpected “celebrity” guests, and learning what it really means to be “on” 24/7.
Talya and Natalie swap Nutmobile memories (yes, they both drove it), share the funniest questions people asked, and reflect on the biggest lesson that carried into school communications.
