When I embarked on my career as a national TV news producer over two decades ago, little did I know that this fast-paced and exhilarating role would shape my professional journey. Starting as a Production Assistant at MSNBC under Dan Abrams, the experience was nothing short of thrilling. The adrenaline rush of producing a live, hour-long show five days a week was both challenging and rewarding. This immersive environment laid the foundation for Pace PR, which I later founded. The connections forged with guests during those early years were invaluable, especially in the greenrooms, where relationships blossomed. Mentioning my work in television often elicited awe and curiosity, reflecting its allure and prestige as an unconventional yet exciting career path.

Similarly, numerous clients have reported securing valuable partnerships following their appearances on television. These experiences underscore the unique value of TV in building authentic connections and credibility.
