What does your role encompass from day-to-day?
"My day starts with calls with European clients from home. Then, I head to the office — unless I have a breakfast meeting somewhere else — and catch up with the team to go over our to-do list for the day. I can either spend the rest of the day at the office speaking with clients, working on strategies and overseeing the showroom, or be out and about for meetings. If there are no work-related events to attend in the evening, I usually end my day with my beloved yoga class at Yogaworks or a drink at Soho House — depending on my mood, sometimes I do both!"

How long have you had your gig and how did you come by it?
"I've been with MHA for over three years. In early '09, I left London, where I was a PR Account Director, to move to Los Angeles with my husband. I knew of Marilyn Heston and her agency, but I didn't meet her until I accidentally attended a dinner at Chateau Marmont, where I was introduced to her associate, Alex Butler. PR is a very small world!"

What's the biggest perk to your job?
"I love fashion and to work with clothes, makeup, and accessories is already a perk. On a deeper level, getting to know innovative people and being able to launch talented human beings is the most fulfilling feeling. The glamourous parties are, of course, always fun, too!"
