*Listen To My Voice On Upworks Official Summer 2025 Updates Web Page* Most PR stops at the placement. I don't. I help founders, creatives, and small business owners turn visibility into revenue — from the first media feature to the first five-figure deal. I once got on the phone on behalf of a client and negotiated a $25,000 speaking engagement. Cold. No script. Just 13+ years of understanding how media, money, and human beings actually work together. That's what I bring to every client. With 13+ years in public relations and media strategy, I've placed clients on NewsNation, Newsmax, and WGN. I've been featured in the San Diego Business Journal and mentioned in Essence Magazine. One client landed the San Diego Union-Tribune after a single session with me. But placements are just the beginning. I specialize in: — Visibility strategy that leads to revenue, not just awareness — Media relations and press outreach — AI-powered PR research and pitch writing — Brand storytelling and messaging — Turning media features into speaking engagements, clients, and cash You don't need a PR agency. You need a strategist who understands that being seen is only valuable if it leads to being paid. Let's build that system together.

I am an award-winning and published global social media marketing strategist with B2B, B2C, agency and in-house marketing experience in commercial real estate, education, employment, events, finance, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, music, nonprofit, publishing, recruiting, retail, telecommunications and wellness. I have led the social media teams at Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, YPO, JAMA Network, Motorola Solutions and General Growth Properties, contributed to publications by Matt Chiera, Strategic Health Care Marketing, PR News Press, and PR News, received awards and recognitions from Facebook, Covington Who's Who, GGP Marketing, ICSC, and MPI-CAC, asked to present at industry conferences both at home and abroad and invited to attend exclusive events and participate in invite-only groups at Meta, LinkedIn, X and Google. I believe that data, transparency, knowledge-sharing, empathy and patience are key to being a good social media strategist. Data guides strategy. Transparency establishes credibility. Knowledge-sharing builds trust. Empathy fosters relationships and patience garners results. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to social media, and I don’t believe that social media should be managed in a bubble. Every business has unique needs, and its social media strategy should reflect those needs. Whether it’s paid, earned, owned, or a combination of all three, I will assess your organization’s needs and create a strategy that complements your other digital marketing efforts and helps you achieve your goals using an omnichannel approach. If you’re looking for a seasoned professional who will help you identify and realize your social media needs in a compliant and ethical manner, then contact me to learn more about how I can help you.
