Gem PR & Media Account Manager, Ericka, on life as a PR professional
So far, working at Gem PR & Media has been a bit of a whirlwind – to say the least. I hopped on the Gem wagon in late August and since then not only have I been exposed to new areas of PR and media, but I’ve also had the opportunity, and support, to raise my game as a working professional.
From day one I knew that this was going to be a fast-paced environment where I would learn hands-on how to navigate my way through the world of Gem PR & Media. I have learned an extraordinary amount of information on topics I have never thought of reading about, whether it’s retirement planning, mortgage loans, website development, or even local Springfield businesses – and enjoyed it. Who would’ve known that there is so much to see and do in what is perceived as such a small town from the outside looking in?
Overall, I find that each day is a new adventure. The proverbial anthill that I started upon continues to mound as I explore new areas, am pushed outside of my comfort zone, and find creative ways to help each of our unique and wonderful clients discover their, and my, true potential.
