From Dream to RealityUpComms PR has been around for a long time as an idea and a dream to provide professional communication services to scientists, educators, and entrepreneurs. Ever inspired by those at the forefront of discovery and at the helm of small business with big ideas, my goal through UpComms PR is to help clients tell their stories and build pivotal relationships among their stakeholders. This includes providing assistance in press release writing, media relations, event planning and execution, social media presence and management, website content development, video/multimedia production guidance, strategic PR planning and more. Following the birth of our first child, my husband and I finally set out to make this dream a reality. UpComms PR started in 2021 and officially launched its website on January 5, 2022.
