This recognition underscores her unwavering dedication to the agency, our clients and the Northeast Florida community.
In addition to her professional achievements, Heather has played an active role in her community for many years.

In 2022, as PR Chair for the Winter Design Show, Heather orchestrated marketing efforts spanning media relations, influencer engagement, social media, and digital advertising. She also pioneered the organization’s first blog to raise awareness about significant events and patient stories.
Heather has been part of Leadership Florida since 2013, serving on statewide selection committees and branding committees and holding roles like Communications Chair for the Northeast Regional Council. Her community involvement also extends to St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, where she serves on its vestry.
“To help the next generation of leaders, it is important to demonstrate accountability and authenticity,” Heather shared in an interview with the business journal. “It is important to deliver on what you say and admit when you miss the mark.”
