• Provide media monitoring, reporting, and evaluation of coverage.
  
  

Skills & Qualifications:

• Proven experience in public relations, communications, or media relations (agency or nonprofit experience an asset).
  
  
• Strong writing and storytelling skills with an understanding of media dynamics.
  
  
• Established media contacts (particularly in health, lifestyle, or nonprofit sectors) preferred.
  
  
• Ability to develop creative, results-driven PR strategies.
