Amanda Harmon
Public Relations, Writing, and Corporate Communications in Charlotte, North Carolina
I heard somewhere that all God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. I’m determined never to be boring.
At work: I’m the (wo)man behind the corporate curtain. Making the company look good is the aim, corporate communications is the game. I have my hands in everything, but my favorite jobs include ghostwriting executive articles, creating presentation skeletons, and being a professional Facebooker. My definition of success is a composite of people influenced, goals completed, and sticky notes used in the last 24 hours.
At play: My bucket list transcends a lifetime. I am determined to one day run a ski course at 36mph/15’ off, housetrain a red heeler puppy, master Clair De Lune on a grand piano, and watch the surf on the islands of Fiji. Amazon is a trusted friend and Allrecipes is my daily tutor. I’m list maker, Google scholar, and eBook guzzler. If I had my way, TV would be banned and traveling the world would be a graduation requirement.
