S. I. | Paladin Houston Candidate
Media Relations/PR Professional with Corporate, Not-for-profit, and Agency Experience

Available For:
Short-term Freelance, Temp-to-perm, or Direct Hire.

Ideal Position:
I am seeking an opportunity to utilize strategic planning skills to develop, implement and measure media relations programs that support the mission and goals of the organization. My goal is to increase positive visibility; educate the public about the company, cultivate story ideas, respond to media inquiries, and manage a media relations team.

I am seeking an enriching work environment that facilitates creativity, innovation and professional growth. Ideally, I am looking for a high profile role with the ability to interact with a wide range of senior-level stakeholders.

Past Experience:
I am a highly organized and self-disciplined senior communications professional with 16 years of experience. I am committed to excellence, innovation and client service. I have agency experience in the energy, health care, education, professional services and technology industries, and I am skilled in marketing, internal/external communications, and media relations.

Years in the fast paced news industry taught me to juggle multiple tasks, work under tight deadlines, and adapt easily to change. As a results-oriented person, I do not wait for things to happen. I am a team builder, motivator, and producer with a keen eye for details. I am well known for my ability to be creative, motivated, and challenged.

Currently:
Most recently, I was part of team helping an oil & gas client improve favorability ratings with consumers through a communications program tied to a business goal. A year after launching the program, the company realized a 19-point net gain in favorability scores with U.S. consumers.
