I approach public relations with enthusiasm, curiosity and attention to detail. My strengths include finding innovative ways to pinpoint the right audiences, writing with clarity and creativity, and managing projects through tight deadlines. I recently completed my Master’s thesis focused on how PR firms implement digital strategy. My client work at Widmeyer keeps me stimulated and happy to come to work!
