I've spent 25 years in the PR business both on the agency and client sides and now serve as an independent communication consultant and adjunct professor for Seton Hall University .

I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a Senior Vice President at Mullen and as SVP, Corporate Practice and Director of Client Service for the U.S. at Hill & Knowlton. Before that, I led the public relations practice for St. John & Partners Advertising & Public Relations after the agency acquired Bottary & Partners Public Relations in 2000.

Bottary & Partners was founded in 1995 to provide northeast Florida with an independent, full-service public relations resource. Inside PR described the firm as a regional powerhouse, great place to work, and new media pioneer. The agency was a member of the Worldcom Public Relations Group with which I was active in leading workshops and discussion groups in the U.S. and abroad for agency principals and their senior management teams on a wide range of topics. Agency clients included McDonald's, Sprint PCS, CSX Transportation, Jiffy Lube and AMC Theaters, among others.

During my career, I’ve chaired and served on boards for dozens of not-for-profits organizations, including United Way of Northeast Florida, Ronald McDonald House, Junior Achievement, the Florida Steering Council and the I.M. Sulzbacher Center for the Homeless.
