Any media hits that stand out for you?
What's most exciting for me is working each year with the high
school kids appearing on The Challenge, a TV quiz show
produced by our client, MSG Varsity. The students are great
young people from throughout the tri state ... smart, witty,
entertaining ... and when I place the winning team on a show like
Fox News, it's very exciting for them and me! It makes all those
endless calls and email pitches to producers worthwhile.
What drove you to PR?
I love interacting with all types of people and in PR you meet
exciting, interesting men and women just about every day. I've worked with clients in fields ranging from high fashion
to education to healthcare. Each is unique and offers its own set of opportunities.
What do you do for fun when you're not working?
In my free time, I love going to classical concerts (Stravinsky's Rite of Spring is my favorite piece) and reading (right
now I'm hooked on the Stieg Larsson trilogy). I also love to travel, especially to out-of-the-way places. Probably the
most unusual places I've been are Transylvania and a Hindu temple in northern India that is actually run by distant
relatives of my husband.
What talent do you wish you had?
In my next life, I'd love to be a classical musician - a violinist or cellist up there on the stage with the New York
Philharmonic. The musicians I know are a passionate, dedicated lot. I just love the fact that music can have a
positive effect on just about anyone, from a young child in the heartland of America to a senior citizen in China. It's
something we all have in common.
