PR // COMMS

hi there, i’m sam. i do PR. stay for awhile.

I love making lists. So here’s one to get to know me:

  1. I’m a Los Angeles native, but went to school in the Bay Area – Cal! Go Bears!
  2. I’m currently a Masters student at USC Annenberg, honing my skills as a PR pro. Check out my portfolio!
  3. I do cool stuff for clients who do good things at C+C.
  4. I learned the ropes of public relations at an agency in Hong Kong from some of the most interesting people I’ve met. They were some of the most interesting people I’ve met.
  5. Here’s how my career has gone so far: developed a new business pitch for Hong Kong’s Chinese Writing Style Guide; promoted self-help books at an imprint of a “Big Five” publishing house; livetweeted a celeb-packed telethon; conducted media outreach for one of the world’s leading tech companies; coordinated an Elvis pop-up.
  6. Pitching? Writing? Proofing? I’m your girl. I’ve worked for clients in the homebuilding, retail, non-profit, healthcare, tech, and tourism industries.
  7. Media relations is my bread and butter, but sustainability is my passion. I’m interested in telling stories on moving the needle to protect our planet.
  8. The Oxford comma is superior. Darn AP style!
  9. Wired earphones always. I have small ears!
  10. Great work needs a great soundtrack. Mine? Silent Alarm by Bloc Party.
  11. Let’s talk books, our favorite bookstores, movies, music, the current state of the climate, or the best LA food spots.
