(1). What has inspired you to get into public relations? I genuinely believe communications can be a force for good and for change. I wanted to find a way to be a part of that in a more meaningful way.

(2). How do you achieve a sense of belonging within the PR profession? I think I have learned to reach out to others more to build or join a sense of community. The CIPR has been a key part of this. If one isn't proactive to do so, it can be limiting.

(3). Who has been the biggest support in your professional journey? I’ve been lucky to have incredible support from fellow PR professionals. From my first days with the International Committee to my current role as Chair, colleagues in CIPR have guided, challenged, and encouraged me. Many of these connections have grown into lasting collaborations that extend beyond CIPR into my everyday work, showing me that this profession is truly built on community and shared growth.
