Your Company:  Brevard Family Partnership

Your Title: Public Relations Coordinator

Education/Background:  AA in general studies from BCC, BA in Sociology from UCF (2007), 1 ½ years in PR with Brevard Family Partnership, though always involved in marketing and sales in previous employment. Before BFP I was the Executive Assistant with Indian River Consulting Group from May 2000 through September 2006 where responsibilities included everything from booking travel to coordinating events.

I was born in Buffalo, NY, but raised in Miami. Moved to Melbourne in 2000 and have been loving life ever since.

Why you joined the FPRA:  I joined FPRA to further develop my PR and communication skills as well as network with other PR professionals to share ideas and expand our efforts both professionally and personally.

What’s the most challenging part of your job:  The most challenging part of my job is juggling multiple responsibilities at the same time and assuring deadlines are met.

What’s the easiest part of your job:  Is there an easy part of my job?!  Working with the community and attending community events is one of the most enjoyable parts of my job. Connecting with the community is vital to our agency and makes a world of difference to having the community understand who we are and what we do.

What are your hobbies/interests:  Other than work, I am involved in a few activities at church and love to read – not much time for anything else.

Family Info: Husband, Eddie and cat, Faith. My parents live in Palm Bay (came up from Miami after we did) and my brother and his family have lived in Palm Bay for the past 2-3 years.
