Practicing scheduled and impromptu self-care has been a journey for me as a crisis communicator, brand-strategist, and overall communications professional. As rewarding as it has been to be able to channel so many of my specialties at any given time, it has been equally as refreshing to learn to step back in a strategic manner to refill my cup. I find that I am able to steer the ship more efficiently in times of crisis, while taking a more relaxed and clear approach to building out plans for any given client.

During this I invite my fellow comms professionals to take a step back and see where their wellness blind spots are located and address them in a healthy way.

National Wellness Month is a reminder that taking care of yourself is part of doing your best work. 💙

From preventing burnout to practicing mindfulness and building healthier habits, explore insights from Strategies & Tactics and PRsay designed to support your well-being — both personally and professionally.

Looking back at last Friday’s Media Mash Up 2026 FPRA Orlando Area Chapter & PRSA Orlando ! It was an incredible program with so many ways to learn and grow. I had the wonderful opportunity to see so many of my favorite colleagues and meet new professionals who also love to do what I do!

Not to mention all the talented journalists I had the pleasure of meeting and/or reconnecting with from our speed networking segment.

I’m also proud to announce that I will be officially taking on a new position within Florida Public Relations Association this fall. I will be inducted soon as VP of Communications for Email & Web! Very excited to serve our amazing community for the 2026-2027 term!
