I was personally recognized by former Nevada Senator, Harry Reid, for excellence in digital marketing efforts over 10 social media accounts for the Las Vegas JW Marriott Resort & Casino which sits on 54-acres and includes a spa, a casino, and 10 restaurants. I was also responsible for all the resort photography, blogging, and assisting with numerous website rebuilds and additions.

Cosnil James hired me to write his bio to showcase his expertise as an IT Executive as part of efforts to raise funding for the very successful Côte d'Azur Web Festival.
I represented The Shore Restaurant and Lounge and Celebrity Chef, David Linville for almost 2 years as their public relations specialist. I wrote all their marketing materials, and created cause marketing events for such charitable organizations as the Muscular Dystrophy Association and Surfrider Foundation.
I pitched and represented Chef David at numerous food festivals around the United States, including Los Angeles Magazine’s prestigious Food Event at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu, CA; the 31st Annual Scottsdale Culinary Festival in Scottsdale, Az and the Grand Food & Wine Affair in Houston, TX.
"My recent involvement in Los Angeles Magazine’s Food Event as one of ten Celebrity Chefs including Kerry Simon and Nancy Mozza has been the highlight of my culinary career. Other PR firms I’ve worked with in the past promised me publicity and Joy was the first to actually do it. I told her I wanted to be in Los Angeles Magazine and she made it happen." Chef David Linville
I represented Actress Yari De Leon during her appearance in the Matthew McConaughey film, The Lincoln Lawyer, directed by Brad Furman. I pitched her to media, confirmed her appearances at red carpet events and procured designer dresses for appearances.
I acted as her personal publicist at the Generosity Water's 3rd Annual "Night Of Generosity" Benefit, Designer Sue Wong's "My Fair Lady" private garden event, 9 Oscar gifting suites and parties including the exclusive QVC Red Carpet style, and the The Lincoln Lawyer red carpet premiere at the Cinerama Dome. The LA Times included her in the Lincoln Lawyer's film review as a result of our publicity efforts. Getty Images coverage can be seen here.
