What are you most proud of in your public relations career?

Earning the trust and respect of my clients as someone that they can continually rely on for smart and insightful strategic communications council.

Name one thing most people don’t know about you.

When I was 11 years old I was the best bowler (in my age group) in Westchester County, NY. I still have the trophy to prove it.

What are your greatest strengths as a marketing and communications practitioner?

I pride myself on being a driver. I constantly think about my clients’ communications needs and proactively place myself in their shoes to anticipate how I can add maximum value.

Describe your perfect client.

Those who are candid, supportive of new ideas and view you as a trusted, strategic partner.

Who would play you in the movie version of your life?
