Welcome to the first episode of Perfect PR. In this episode I kick off the podcast sharing with you my story. I started out my career as a journalist, working in Sydney in a fast-paced news cycle environment, before I moved into regional Television where I spent 3 years covering everything from the drought, floods, fires, locust plagues and country music festivals. I then moved into the political world where I dabbled in and out for over a decade, I joined the Australian Defence Force along the way, and in 2013 I set up my own Public Relations, Media Training and Public Speaking Agency in Newcastle, Australia. Whilst I enjoy working closely with clients and seeing them grow their business in the media, what I love even more is showing people how they can do their own Public Relations. This is what this Perfect PR Podcast is all about.
