Bio
Patricia Perez
Sarah is an impressive communications professional that I highly recommend. Her skills and professionalism far exceeded our expectations for someone starting their communications career. She is a strong writer with exceptional media relations, social media, organizational and planning skills - all abilities necessary for future success in the public relations field. She also demonstrated the ability to manage multiple, complex projects simultaneously with little guidance. Sarah, however, impressed us not only with her professional abilities but also with her creativity, character and work ethic. She is dedicated, hardworking and self-motivated. Contact me directly so I can share the wonderful results she was able to achieve for our clients. Patricia Perez President, VPE Tradigital Communications (626) 403-3200 ext. 214 patricia@vpepr.com
