  New York Tails Magazine/City Pet Guide

  (Public Relations and Communications industry)

  October 2005 — Present (4 years 3 months)

  I facilitate PR for the magazine as well as individual clients who work with animals appearing in mass media. I attain new clients to advertise in the magazine. I write a column for New York Tails with Bella Starlet titled "Tails About Town" which has photos of her around the town at celebrity animal functions and also write a column for City Pet Guide titled "Life of a Celebupup". Marketing the magazine around NYC Proper and planning events for it is a lot of fun for me. www.NewYorkTails.com/www.CityPetGuide.com
