Professional Experience
As a publicist, writer, and teacher with over 15 years of experience promoting books, media companies, and other consumer products, - from airplane-shaped condoms to hip maternity clothes - I bring a unique level of enthusiasm, dedication, intelligence, and creative thinking to my work in public relations. After launching S.R. Public Relations, Inc. in 1997, I expanded my client base to include entertainment and sports, as well as not-for-profit organizations. Having amassed a wide range of strong contacts in the consumer and business media, as well as a powerful working knowledge of social media strategy, I specialize in effectively and innovatively implementing the full complement of multi-audience relations tactics, including creating both superior digital and traditional footprints for a client.
With extensive teaching experience, I approach publicity with an intellectual rigor and a pro-active passion.
