As a child, I always wanted to be a writer for sit-coms. Dreaming up quirky characters, dysfunctional families and scenarios of comic misunderstandings was a favorite pastime. I probably shouldn’t admit it, but I still do this from time to time, except nowadays I think of soap opera plots – you have to love a world where you can raise the dead, your children go from age 6 to 16 over a summer and you always wake up in the morning with your hair looking beautiful and your make-up already applied.

 

When I realized the whole Hollywood thing wasn’t going to pan out, I found a new passion – a passion for public relations. You still get to work with a cast of quirky characters and sometimes unbelievable scenarios, but you also get to learn about products and industries that you would otherwise never know about. All of this extra knowledge helps me to be the life of any party – it’s true, I always hear whispering in the background, “Who invited that girl? She’s a real know-it-all!” And then I feel proud.

 

But seriously, I do love learning and writing for a variety of industries. Helping clients take their businesses to new levels is a great reward and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Unless “The Office” calls looking for a new writer.
