Public Relations Specialist | Public Education Coordinator for TransLife at Florida Hospital
Registering to become an organ donor is one of the most personal decisions someone can make. As a PR specialist and public education coordinator for Central Florida's organ procurement organization (OPO), it is my job to inform the 10 county service area that we cover about the facts. Although facts and statistics are powerful, the audiences I reach range from donor families, to recipients, to highschool and college students, hospital staff and more.
Writing to a variety of audiences forces me to strategically structure sentences throughout any project, such as the infographic to the left.

I've had the opportunity to help organize and showcase public relations plans such as the photo to the left. Joey Gase, NASCAR driver and avid organ donation supporter, was in Daytona this past spring for the races.
In order to educate Halifax Health employees about what organ donation can do, we had Joey visit with patients and staff. Joey shared his personal connection to donation. Joey's mother saved several people through organ donation, and her legacy lives on each day through the gift of life.

Each April, the nation unites in spreading awareness about organ, eye and tissue donation. This month is known as National Donate Life Month. The PR team helps facilitate flag raising's at hospitals across Central Florida in honor of all the hero's who have given the gift of life.
This national initiative takes strategic planning, budgeting, and communication with hospital staff, partners, and donor families who are invited to speak and share their personal connection to the cause.
