Read on to learn more about what makes her tick, and where she gets her passion for storytelling!
Guilty Pleasure - Embracing the Power of Sleep:
A: Sleeping in is my biggest guilty pleasure, for sure. While some people may see it as lazy or unproductive, I find that adequate sleep is the secret to my productivity. I function best on 8-10 hours of sleep, so prioritizing it is a must. My friends and family have learned not to plan early morning excursions for me!
Hobby Outside of Work - A Passion for Exploration:
A: Traveling takes the top spot as my number one hobby (if that counts as a hobby!). Exploring new places and immersing myself in different cultures is a source of immense joy. Additionally, I have a love for reading, although finding time for it proves challenging. Making space for more reading is a resolution for 2024.
Best Advice Received - Shooting for the Moon and Continuous Learning:
A: This one is two-fold: never tell yourself no and never stop learning. My dad instilled in me the idea of shooting for the moon, encouraging me to pursue even the seemingly craziest ideas. Trying it out before counting myself out has been a guiding principle. Another crucial piece of advice is to never believe I'm done learning. In the ever-evolving PR industry, assuming you know everything is the quickest way to get left behind. The learning never stops.
Most Memorable Client Win – Helping make ViVE a Winning Experience:
A: One of the standout moments in my career was spearheading a media outreach campaign for a healthcare client that was attending ViVE and expected us to secure several media briefings for the executive in attendance. I helped craft a comprehensive outreach plan that resulted in us securing several on-site briefings. What made this achievement particularly memorable was the client’s decision to attend a crucial industry conference was confirmed at the eleventh hour. Despite this last-minute revelation, my team and I pivoted, and the client not only got their briefings, but also an uptick in media coverage post-event. So, it was a great win!
