Katarina Kovacevic’s Summary
My current fulltime job is the Communications Coordinator for the Scottsdale Convention & Visitors Bureau. Public Relations is my career of choice as I love the interaction with media, ever-changing schedules and tasks, and just the craziness of it all.
My first passion, however, has always been writing and I cover pop culture, fashion, arts & entertainment, women's issues and more. I currently am a contributing writer for She Knows, one of the top 10 most-visited websites for women providing current information on topics relevant to their lives, and I also am the Budget Fashion Examiner for Phoenix Examiner.
My freelance public relations experience includes work with clients in the industries of television, production, dining, health, and wellness. I also have done work for a handful of nonprofit organizations and work to promote Inside Creative Minds, a 30-minute television program dedicated to Phoenix's creative community.
I am a firm believer in volunteering my time and skills for a good cause and I serve on the board of the Croatian Youth Organization of Phoenix, a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of Croatian culture in America. I also am the current Student Relations Liaison for IABC Phoenix's Community Relations committee.
