Mentors are vital and I’ve been fortunate to have a few good ones. Fresh out of college my career started with an entertainment public relations internship in Los Angeles for author and publicity legend Michael Levine. It helped land my first gig with one of the nation’s largest advertising agencies. Next were director positions for two different integrated agencies. Four years ago, I partnered with another mentor and former boss from one of those agencies – we launched World’s Best Golf Destinations. And for someone that loves to write, success as a freelance journalist is a crowning achievement. A true all-rounder with many achievements, I’m most proud of the interns and colleagues I’ve helped along the way.
