🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, aimed to increase awareness and promote regular screening and early detection of breast cancer.

Other than skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting American women, with 1 in 8 receiving the diagnosis of breast cancer during one’s lifetime.

Early detection provides the best chance of successful treatment and cure. More than 3.5 million breast cancer survivors are alive today thanks to advances in screening, detection and treatment

💓 This October, empHowered PR is going pink to raise awareness while also honoring those fighting breast cancer and remembering those who lost the battle.

And now, it’s personal. 🎀🩷

To help those who are fighting the battle against breast cancer, please visit Pawsitively 4 Pink.

Helping to build the biotech industry in Central Massachusetts! 🔬

As an entrepreneur, I know the importance of having a strong network and support system to bring a business to life.

🤩 That's why I'm so excited to be part of the Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives (MBI) as a "Preferred Vendor" to help startups build their brands toward success!

MBI fosters innovation in life sciences by helping companies bring lifesaving products to patients while creating jobs and promoting economic development in central Massachusetts and throughout the Commonwealth. As the state's longest-running life science startup incubator, MBI helps emerging life sciences companies advance from concept to clinical trials.

🎀 As a two-time cancer survivor, I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my experience as a patient while providing my knowledge, expertise and guidance for all things brand, thought leadership, media relations, social media and more as a PR pro.

Many thanks to MBI for the opportunity to support the future of biotech, our business community and the economic vitality of my home.

We love the pink flamingo! 🦩

💗 From pink Italian ice to pink flamingo face painting and lots of opportunities to purchase a variety of pink flamingo yard decorations, the City of Leominster showed up strong to celebrate one of our most famous historical figures (Johnny Appleseed 🍎 was born here, too!)

👏 Many thanks to the Leominster Community Development team, Mayor Dean Mazzarella and his stellar team, the sponsors, and all those who worked on yet another successful event in our community.

Join us for an evening in North Central Massachusetts to raise awareness for mental health. 🩷

On Wednesday, June 17, at 6 p.m., my friend Jake Miskin will host a viewing of “Shattered Ice,” at Mount Wachusett Community College.

Jake wrote the screenplay and produced the film about a teenage hockey player in a small New England town dealing with grief after his best friend dies by su***de, focusing his journey to find hope through his community, friends, and the sport.

The film aims to raise awareness about mental health and su***de prevention with a mission to start conversations and stop the stigma.

Following the film, a panel discussion (moderated by a familiar face🙂) will be held to bring together our community and send mental health stigma out of the darkness and into the light.

Many thanks to my alma mater, MWCC, and MWCC President James Vander Hooven, for all your support to raise awareness of mental health and for hosting this important event. 💚💙
