Public Relations

I am the founder of the KMS Group, a public relations firm located in Boca Raton, Florida. I have nearly 15 years of combined experience in PR and media including senior roles with two leading agencies in the South Florida area, prior to starting my own agency. Among my expertise includes local and national media pitching campaigns, formulating creative strategies to generate brand awareness, content writing (press releases, thought leadership articles, blogs), and social media management. As a former journalist, I began my career as an on-air TV and radio news/traffic reporter for an ABC affiliate and a radio reporter for a top 15 market. One of my greatest strengths is writing which is backed up by years of experience authoring articles for online and print news outlets. My experience as both a publicist and a journalist have helped me to earn continuous top placements for clients with a clear understanding of what makes pitches newsworthy. I hold a B.A. in Journalism from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan and was awarded the school's '10 Within 10' Award in 2020. Additionally, I have earned multiple certificates from the Poynter Institute, a nonprofit journalism school, in St. Petersburg, Florida.
