11/12/2025 - A great afternoon with students from the University of Oklahoma's Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication! Thanks for setting up this visit with me, Sam Sims and Sherry Kast. Huge shoutout to my Rubenstein Communications colleagues (Kayla McCullough, Alexa Stucker, and Amanda Gilberg) who shared their journeys from campus to careers in PR.
9/2025 - I was a guest on Ken Jacobs' leadership podcast, Taking the Lead. Together, we discussed mental health, authenticity, and DEI.
October 11, 2025 - Excited to share some big news. I married my best friend, Damon Withey! We are so happy to have joined our hearts and families. This next chapter will be the greatest yet. 💍🖤 Please make a note of my new surname, Withey, which is pronounced WIHTH-ee. Thank you for the love and support!
April 9, 2025 - We wrapped up the final university site visit of the season today at Rubenstein Communications, and it was such a pleasure to host such a talented group of marketing scholars from Fordham University! Thank you to my brilliant and insightful colleagues who participated alongside me, including Justin Henry (Fordham alum), Shannon Darcy, and Parker LaCourse! Also, thank you to Jennifer O’Neil for arranging this experience with me - we can’t wait to welcome you back in the future.
April 1, 2025 - Sometimes, you meet a group of people who really energize you, and that's exactly what I experienced with the University of Baltimore's visit to Rubenstein Communications! My participating colleagues included Talia Inbar (UBalt alum), Amanda Gilberg, and Angie Durbin, and together, they painted a fascinating picture of how brand messaging, public relations, and digital design go hand in hand. I am genuinely excited to see what these students will do in their careers.
March 26, 2025 - I had the honor of speaking to the kids and families at my child’s elementary school about matching talents and skills with different careers. I was able to share a little bit about my work with Rubenstein and my writing for PRSA Tactics. We played a game I created called FUTURE FINDER, and the kids designed their own business cards, too. Shout out to my “assistants” Ramona and Damon! ❤️✨🌈
March 21, 2025 - Penn State University's “Success in the City” 2025 Career Fair in Manhattan was wonderful! I attended with my colleague, Colleen Flickinger, on behalf of Rubenstein! We met some incredible students and had so much fun learning all about them and talking about career opportunities with our firm. Thanks for having us, Bob Martin and team! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
February 27, 2025 - It was such an incredible experience putting together Food for Thought for our staff at Rubenstein. Lazarus Lynch and Lana Lagomarsini were fantastic guests, and I am grateful for all of the conversation that came from this! 🖤
3/11/2025 - We welcomed students from the UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media to Rubenstein today! Three of my colleagues, all UNC alums, joined the roundtable. Thanks to Stefan Prelog, Grace Gilgo, and Bud Perrone, for sharing your career insights and amazing stories with the group. A common theme from the discussions that stood out to me was that where you start (and what you initially envision) isn't always where you end up, and you have to be curious and willing to try!
