Media & Partnerships

What is public relations outside of being relatable to the public?

My goal in writing press releases, pitching stories, and maintaining media parternships is to make ballet (notoriously intimidating and “high-brow)” accessible and interesting to the average Milwaukeean. There is no shortage of human interest and feel-good stories in the arts, so my goal is always to match the right reporter to the right interviewee in the right setting to illuminate fascinating and humanizing looks behind the scenes.

Community Partnerships is an area that I’ve specially worked to expand in my tenure at Milwaukee Ballet, as giveback initiatives cultivate goodwill and allow us to reach new audiences in unique ways.

Please see below for a representative selection of my public relations acumen, with more samples available upon request.
