When and where did your PR career begin?

I was first introduced to the world of PR when I was enrolled in a public relations class my junior year of college, where I found CGPR while completing a project for the class.  Shortly after I was offered an internship position with CGPR, where I grew my passion for PR!

What was your first job and how did you get it?

My first job out of college was with The Rockport Group. When I joined, we had just onboarded a new brand, Reef, so I worked as an Account Coordinator, managing wholesale accounts for a team of sales representatives across the US.  A large part of the role was relationship management between the sales team and accounts, and building relationships to drive a brand forward is what ultimately drew me back to PR at CGPR where I had interned in college!

Where is your dream travel location and why?

I have so many, it would be hard to pick just one!  My top 3 are Italy, Greece, or Spain, as I was supposed to go to Spain in 2020, which clearly wasn’t in the cards.

If you were stranded on a desert island and could only bring 3 things, what would they be?

1. My phone – so I could listen to music, watch Netflix, and FaceTime my family
2. My dog Calvin for companionship
3. A lifetime supply of wine
