  I jumped right in updating the company's website, planning the move to our new location, choosing and coordinating rental furniture, permanent workstations and everything in between. I approve all communications and work closely with our PR Guru Gina Galaviz Eisenberg and Social Media Maven Luisa Garcia the SA Socialista. Most recently I planned our Open House/Ribbon-Cutting with the North San Antonio Chamber of Commerce. It was so successful, we had to ask people to leave.

  Loved reporting on and helping non-profits. In addition to producing television newscasts, planned, coordinated and booked guests for a daily interview segment. The highlight: winning an award from the San Antonio Area Foundation for promoting animal organizations. I also had the pleasure of emceeing a few events, including the Cressie Animal Refuge and Enrichment (CARE) Gala. Loved reporting on and helping non-profits.
