Work flow playlist: Autumn 2016

This past Thursday marked the beginning of Autumn, and that means it’s time to buckle down, put your hair in a messy bun, and pound out work until we break for Thanksgiving. One of my favorite things to do while writing blog posts and news articles is to put on a random Spotify playlist to… Continue reading Work flow playlist: Autumn 2016

Business flying hacks

I have flown more this past year than I have in my entire life. It’s true. My new job turned me into a jet-setting PR girl, and I’d like to think I’m a bit of a flying pro at this point. Here are the best tips I’ve picked up to help you get through an… Continue reading Business flying hacks

How changing my location changed my life

I often think of that old saying, “if you can’t change your location, change your hair color.” I can’t remember where I first heard it – probably in a fashion magazine growing up – but in 2015 I knew that my yearning for change could not be satisfied with new tresses. I was stalled in… Continue reading How changing my location changed my life

Back to school: Continuing education post-college

If you’re like me, you get a little nostalgic this time of year seeing all of the “Back to School” ads and photos of college students moving into their dorms for the fall semester.

PR Girl Travels: Seattle/Tacoma

My recent trip to Seattle/Tacoma for an event for my client was a complete whirlwind. As most event trips go, we didn’t have much time for exploring, but we hit some of the main tourist attractions and got a good feel for the downtown area. The thing I was most excited about seeing was Seattle’s… Continue reading PR Girl Travels: Seattle/Tacoma

How to make networking less painful

I tend to dread networking events. I know that as a PR girl I shouldn’t say that, but it’s true. It’s awkward. Everyone there has an agenda. And there’s always those people who are constantly in search of a better person to talk to. (Those people are the worst.)

PR Girl Travels: Edmonton, Alberta

I recently traveled to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada for a client event. Our program puts on events in multiple cities each year and these trips typically include working from sun up to sun down, followed by a client dinner, followed by collapsing into my hotel bed and falling asleep to Big Bang Theory reruns on TBS.… Continue reading PR Girl Travels: Edmonton, Alberta
