Worked as a public relations supervisor; wrote weekly copy for multiple organizations including press releases, website content, blogs, and social media. My main focus was on two organizations: a small business loan company and a solar energy organization. Pitching press releases bi-weekly to various media outlets and facilitating interview requests were a main focus. I participated in interviews for local media outlets around the country and acted as a spokesperson for multiple organizations. I managed marketing platforms to speak with clients and generate leads.

My daily tasks included an integration of sales operations/management and telecommunications marketing. My specialties focused on: event planning on a small and larger scale, social media, logistics, travel and sales tracking. I promoted partnership and media relations through: producing a weekly newsletter, pitching stories to vertical and trade publications and managing logistics for customer events and trade shows. I work in a fast-paced telecom environment to provide support and lead generation to our sales force.

As a Senior Account Executive my main focus is to keep my clients happy. Working in the cyber security vertical equals an environment that is often fast paced and changing daily due to the nature of this field. My main tasks include: counseling and providing value to C-Level executives on communications and PR strategies, helping to develop key messages, corporate positioning and thought leadership, and collaborating with a team of PR professionals to give our clients a bevy of in-house services such as graphics, other creatives, media outreach, original content, and social media.

Working as a Public Relations manager for a web development company I effectively pitched various stories weekly to national, international, and local media outlets on a weekly basis. I was featured on The Today Show, Huffington Post, A Current Affair, etc. I managed all social media (Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus) for five niche online dating sites, plus wrote at least one blog per week for those various sites. I have participated in interviews for local media outlets around the country for TV, radio and print pieces. I am professionally media trained and acted as a spokesperson for the organization. I also helped in event planning and execution for site members that included upwards of 400 guests. Some examples of my print placements are below:
