Experienced publicity manager with a demonstrated history of working successful events in Western Australia.

My media contacts are extensive and ALWAYS up to date.Testimonials are available upon request from WA media and clients. I also have a FB page called Whats Happening In Perth and Western Australia that is currently sitting on 22,000 'likes' and 22,000 followers.
