As an account executive at one of Michigan's leading firms, I deal with a variety of issues daily. As any PR professional will tell you, no day is the same. One day I might be taking part in a brainstorming session with some of Michigan's brightest minds, the next day calling every major news outlet in Michigan to convince them to run my story and the next day researching how my client can take advantage of the latest and greatest social media platform. At times the job can be chaotic but I wouldn't have it any other way. It forces me to be organized, innovative and constantly thinking five steps ahead of the client.
I served as a public relations intern at Martin Waymire for one year before David Waymire and Roger Martin offered me a full-time position upon my graduation from Michigan State University in May. Not only is Martin Waymire a great fit for me because of the amazing people I get to work with on a daily basis but also because our offices are located in Lansing. I'm currently making the move from East Lansing to Lansing; in my head it's the transition from college life to adulthood. I couldn't be more excited. Taking part in groups like Grand River Connection and Central Michigan Public Relations Society of America allows me to interact with other professionals in the area who share the same passion for public relations and Lansing that I do. The #lovelansing crowd is enthusiastic and welcoming and I'm thrilled to say I am now a part of that community.
