Goodbyes are never easy. Especially when it is a goodbye to five amazing women who I have spent the past two years with. In fact, I think I have spent more time with these ladies than I have with my dogs, family or friends in the past two years. But, instead of getting all sappy I thought I would just write you a song (to the tune of Rent’s “Seasons of Love”)…
1,051,200 minutes, 1,051,200 moments so dear
1,051,200 minutes how do you measure, measure two years?
In press releases? In pitches? In cups of chai tea?
In follow-up calls? In early morning TV? In laughter, in tears?
In 1,051,200 minutes- how do you measure two years in the life?
How about Profiles Love
How about Profiles Love
How about Profiles Love
Two years of Profiles Love.
It’s time now to say goodbye, though the PR never ends.
Let’s celebrate, remember 2 years in the life at Profiles.
Looking back over the past two years a lot has changed: engagements, weddings, new houses and new puppies. Still, one thing will always remain – the friendships that we have formed here in the Mill Center.

Walking into Suite 201 almost two years ago, to the day, I was fresh out of college and ready to learn. Walking out of these doors today I feel like I have taken the most incredible two-year journey of my life. I could not have asked for better mentors. Amy Elias’ expertise in the field never ceases to amaze me. Amy Burke‘s unbeatable work ethic (and incredible hearing) gives me something to aspire to. Jamie Watt’s dedication to her career and Bridget Forney’s go-getter attitude make me realize why I love public relations. And Shelly May’s incredible tap dancing moves and fabulous vocals always put a smile on my face. From slouching through the snow and ice to get to the office to trekking through the dark hallways, flashlight in hand, to make it to the bathroom during a power outage, every day at Profiles has been an adventure. But the time has come to begin my next journey.
London, here I come…..
