Some people pooh-pooh New Year’s Resolutions because, well, a lot of people fail to achieve them. But I think where most people go wrong is by setting impossible goals. I believe it’s all about baby steps. I started out 2016 determined to make Charlotte my home and to stop wallowing in self-pity. Over the course… Continue reading New Year’s Career Resolutions

10 things every confident woman has
An article I often refer back to is 8 things every happy woman should have on Thought Catalog. Not because I’m questioning my happiness, but because it’s kind of fun to check back periodically and see if/how my answers have changed. While the article states that “happy” women have these 8 simple things, I think that… Continue reading 10 things every confident woman has
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.

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
Summer work playlist
This time last year, we had just moved down to Charlotte and I was fortunate enough to keep my agency job in New York by working remotely while I searched for a new job in the south. I got a little taste of working from home, and I quickly learned that it was not for… Continue reading Summer work playlist
