In my role, I help entities manage, shape and create awareness of their mission’s message to stakeholders and the press via various strategic communications strategies and tactics, data-driven solutions as well as traditional and non-traditional methods while complying with the PRSA Code of Ethics and utilizing Best Practices. While BMC focuses its services to hone in on media relations, my experience as a practitioner has represented a variety of areas in the PR field, including: public affairs, government relations/affairs, community relations, and publication and content writing/editing.
