Oh, I must admit I’m a bit sad.
It is always great working with great media partners in the community.

They must trust your pitch.
They must trust that you will deliver on a great story.
Once they know, you are a go to … they come to rely on your stories. Sometimes they even reach out to you to say I have a hole …can you help me?
I say each and every time ..you bet …. Just give me five minutes. It could be a client or a story that deserves attention.

Today is the last day for my amazing colleague at Tampa Bay 28 - WFTS! Reporter Robert Boyd is leaving the business. We laughed st our recent storiy shoot together that we’ve told probably 50 stories in six years. That’s a lot of stories!!!!!
Veterans, Butterflies, Construction, Holiday Elf, Adoption story, Car presentation, Boys & Hirls camps, Girl Scouts, scubanauts, Foster care & soooooo many more.
It was great working with him. It was an honor to tell the stories. He’s a journalist that cares - he will be missed. I’m sharing some photos below of our stories we’ve told together.

Wishing you well, my friend in your next chapter!

Moments like today were truly special.
Working with amazing media partners who give stories of chance to shine is always fulfilling.

The new Girl Scout movie called “Cookie Queens” will be in theaters tonight.

It was my job to get publicity for this event and after it launches.

Working with amazing community partners like FOX 13 News - Tampa Bay is REALLY great!

These young ladies were about messaging and sharing important points on their journey.

It’s always fun to watch them evolve.
Today was extra special with CEO Mary Pat King & her daughter Jenna plus another bright star, Katie.

I moved some things around to make sure I can oversee it in person before I hopped on a plane heading out of town for the weekend. It’s more like these that are important to wrap up in a bow..

Look for the story Florida tonight in FOX 13's Haley Hinds at 7 PM!
