The Denver Gaels is a non-profit athletic organization dedicated to the promotion of Irish sport and culture all along Colorado's Front Range. The club is an official member of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), Ireland's governing body of the Irish sports of hurling, Gaelic football and camogie.
The Public Relations Officer is responsible for educating our community about Denver Gaels sports, activities and events. I write columns for Denver's only Irish newspaper, the Celtic Connection. I strive to obtain national and regional media coverage, and I also oversee the club's online social networking presence and any media purchases the club chooses to make.
Through solid public relations campaigns, the club is and will continue to be a recognized non-profit organization with unique character and lively patrons. These efforts will foster potential sponsorships and general public knowledge of the club and also help secure the Gaels as a force in the North American GAA.

Metrolist is Colorado's largest multiple listing service (MLS) hosting a database of 40,000 real property listings and a membership base of 19,000 real estate professionals.
As a copywriter at Metrolist I controlled consistent content of departmental communications, and regularly composed Compliance-related articles for Insights Metrolist newsletter.
I was also responsible for spearheading a PR campaign called Ask Compliance, and I assisted with the implementation of other marketing strategies.
One of the most important aspects of my position was instructing and educating members on MLS technical system features, from the simple to the complex.
