I handle client services, manage accounts, pitch media, post to social media, write plans and bylines, organize events, and everything in between. At the end of the day, my biggest goal is to ensure my clients, my teams, and the people working on them are in the best position to be successful. And I’ve been doing a pretty good job at all of this if I do say so myself but if you need more than my word, PR News’ PR People Awards named yours truly Agency Account Manager of the Year in 2015.My biggest PR passion is media relations. I’ve been named a Top Tech PR Pro by PRSourceCode and if I could spend every day pitching, I would. I love the persistency and resiliency required to do it. I believe that there is always a story to pitch – just find the right angle and the right target.
