What do you love most about working in public relations?

What I find most rewarding about public relations is the overall project cycle. I love taking an initial concept and developing it into a fully realized project. This entire journey captivates me. From the initial idea and thorough research to crafting pitches and sending them to the media.

Witnessing these ideas expand into actual coverage is the most rewarding part of the process for me.

If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Eggs. They’re so versatile. It doesn’t help that I eat them almost every day.

What’s your favorite quote?

“I stay ready so I don’t have to get ready” – Will Smith

What do you like to do in your spare time?

When I do get the chance to unwind in my spare time, I love to read a good book, particularly fiction novels! I can never get enough. I also enjoy watching movies, spending time with loved ones, mood-boarding and digital/film photography.
