What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a PR role where I can own media outreach, strengthen client partnerships, and help teams deliver press placements and event-ready execution—supported by clear goals, collaborative culture, and opportunities to grow client strategy and campaign impact.

I’m a highly organized, detail-oriented public relations professional with a background in hospitality, beauty, lifestyle, and client support. I’m known for pitching, scheduling, document management, internal communications, and executive-level support—always focused on clear timelines and client satisfaction.

In my account executive roles, I spearhead press and influencer outreach across beauty, lifestyle, fashion, and hospitality to secure high-impact placements. I handle client communication end-to-end, act as a liaison between clients and media for interviews and events, and craft campaigns that translate attention into measurable ROI for sales, reservations, and sample requests.

I also bring strong execution skills to production-heavy work—leading the planning and day-of coordination of hospitality client events, managing media/influencer logistics, and producing content to support social media, press releases, and digital storytelling. Earlier guest-facing experience strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, coordinate with security and venue teams, and deliver professional, high-quality service.
