Everything in transit

I vividly remember riding in my family’s mini van to Coconuts to pick up Something Corporate’s “North” on release day. It was a typical October evening in upstate New York – dark, damp, and chilly. As soon as I got home I ran up to my room, put it in my Walkman, sank down to… Continue reading Everything in transit

PR Girl Travels: Cuba

In prep for our trip to Cuba, MPR and I watched Papa: Hemingway in Cuba, on Netflix. It’s a movie about a young journalist who finds a father figure in legendary author Ernest Hemingway during the Cuban Revolution. What we didn’t know is that this movie was filmed entirely in Cuba, even at Ernest Hemingway’s real… Continue reading PR Girl Travels: Cuba

2 Years in Charlotte

This past weekend I binge-watched the first three episodes of the new Freeform show, The Bold Type. I had been anticipating it for months and it completely delivered, tugging at my heartstrings a bit. When I dreamed about my future in high school and college, I saw exactly what the show’s three main characters were… Continue reading 2 Years in Charlotte

2017 PRSA Charlotte Communications Symposium

The Communications Symposium is my favorite PRSA Charlotte event of the year! Maybe I’m biased, since this year I served on the committee and helped with the communications for the event, but I just love geeking out with like-minded PR pros in the Queen City. This year, our keynote speaker was Oscar Suris, Executive Vice President… Continue reading 2017 PRSA Charlotte Communications Symposium

PR Girl Travels: Des Moines Part 2

The first Hardest Working Cities event of 2017 for our #client Freightliner Trucks is in the books! We started with a 4:30 AM wake-up call to provide workers with a hearty breakfast before their shift (and before the sunrise!), followed by an award presentation at the APWA 2017 Snow Conference, where Mayor Frank Cownie gave a… Continue reading PR Girl Travels: Des Moines Part 2

PR Girl Travels: Des Moines Part 1

It’s safe to say I ate my way through Des Moines this past week while scouting work sites and caterers for an upcoming client event. Along with my team member from our Buffalo office, we tried cheese curds, gourmet doughnuts, endless pasta bowls, ramen, Kimchi tater tots, and a cheeseburger that had a grilled cheese… Continue reading PR Girl Travels: Des Moines Part 1

Personal Branding Lessons from Boss Bitch

If you’re a loyal reader of my blog, you know I’m a huge fan of Rich Bitch by Nicole Lapin, a personal finance book. So I was stoked when I got an advance copy of her new career book, Boss Bitch: A Simple 12-Step Plan to Take Charge of Your Career. I love Lapin’s sassy… Continue reading Personal Branding Lessons from Boss Bitch

Friday vibes: February 17

I will never complain about temperatures in the mid-70s in February! The sunshine this past weekend did wonders for my soul. And it looks like those good vibes will continue into this weekend when some of our college friends come to town. I can’t wait to show them our home and some of our favorite… Continue reading Friday vibes: February 17

2 years of marriage

A fun fact about our wedding is that despite my type-A attention to detail and planning, we didn’t actually practice our first dance until the cocktail hour right before our reception. It’s why in the majority of the photos from our first dance we’re laughing, and why something I was pretty nervous about (hundreds of… Continue reading 2 years of marriage
