CollapseResponsibilities

Through my PR efforts First Fleet Corp. went from being a little known entity in the truck fleet leasing industry to being one of the media's most-called upon expert sources and significantly raised its profile in the industry. Also, due to my persistance, I nominated and secured major awards for Starmark's president and vice president as South Florida Business Journal's 2006 Business Woman of the Year and Up & Comer/ Advertising, respectively.
