✨ Fresh From the PRSA Awards… Sitting in My Car, Full of Gratitude ✨
I literally just pulled into my driveway from tonight’s PRSA Awards and hit record before I even stepped out of my car — because that’s how full my heart is right now.
Yes, I’m tired.
But I am also extremely happy, inspired, and proud.
Tonight, I had the privilege of watching my coworkers shine in the most incredible way. Our Media Relations team, Creative/Graphic team, and Marketing team brought home multiple Pinnacle Awards, and every single one was well-deserved.
Their creativity, innovation, and dedication were seen, celebrated, and honored — and it reminded me just how blessed I am to be part of a department that truly loves what they do.
These awards weren’t just wins…
They were a reflection of passion, teamwork, and excellence on full display.
I may still be in my car, exhausted from a long night —
but I couldn’t wait to share how proud I am of the amazing people I get to work alongside every day.
Congratulations to everyone recognized tonight. You make the City of Newport News shine. 🌟
