Phaedra has always had the gift of gab and loves talking to strangers, despite the warnings her parents gave her as a small child. Making new friends and connections has been a key part of Phaedra’s professional success.
A former TV news reporter and Assistant News Director, she relied heavily on contacts and sources to get the job done. Phaedra worked at the NBC affiliate in Atlantic City for more than a decade, winning multiple awards for her Hurricane Sandy coverage and inside look at different community issues, and was named one of Atlantic City Weekly’s Top 40 Under 40. When the station closed in 2014, Phaedra didn’t want to leave South Jersey and decided to switch sides and join the Public and Media Relations world, using the skills, contacts, and insight gained from the news biz. She went on to work for a small, boutique Public Relations agency that represented some of the biggest names in hospitality in the country.
Originally from Camden County, the daughter of two high school teachers is thrilled to be working with so many schools and helping with their communications plans and goals.
