About Me

I have seven years of experience in public relations and I focus on developing and implementing wide ranging communications strategies with a specialty in high visibility media relations campaigns. I've recently been focusing on creating programs that leverage social media tools, including blogging, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, SEO, as part of comprehensive PR and communications programs. Industry specialties include moving, human resources, real estate and executive relocation.

Now that that's out of the way...I've just moved from NYC to Pennsylvania and am enjoying the lifestyle shock. I pretty much love anything have to do with sports, especially fantasy football, and I secretly (er...not so secretly) want to be the next food network star.
