How long have you been a part of FPRA? Why did you join? #myFPRA
I have been in FPRA for 10 years, eight years as a member of the Central West Coast Chapter and now into my second year as a member of the Orlando chapter. I joined FPRA because I knew nothing about marketing and PR as I had studied sociology and wanted to learn all I could to grow in the profession.
What was your favorite FPRA event?
Conference, Image Awards and the scholarship fundraiser
Tell us about an exciting achievement.
I have always loved being an FPRA member so one of my biggest accomplishments was serving as Chapter President of the Central West Coast Chapter of FPRA.
What was your first job?
My first job in PR was for Easterseals Southwest Florida, in Sarasota, as the Community Relations Director.
Tell us something people may not know about you.
I have lived in six countries and five states.
