Meet Our PRSA Blue Ridge Chapter Sponsorship & Communications Co-Chair: Ceci Leonard
She doesn't find writing this in the third person strange at all. It's a completely normal occupational hazard when you spend your days creating content and managing more than a dozen social media accounts.
If you're wondering why you're looking at an avatar instead of an actual photo of Ceci... it's because she's usually the one behind the camera. Turns out, pointing a camera at people is a surprisingly effective way to make them suddenly remember they have somewhere else to be. Every now and then, though, a few brave souls indulge her. Occasionally, the local news even calls her back, and she gets to stand behind someone else's camera instead. It's usually much bigger, much heavier, and definitely more expensive.
By day, Ceci wrangles communications for the YMCA of Virginia's Blue Ridge, where there's always another story to tell, another program to promote, or another caption to rewrite because she thought of something better five minutes later.
Want to get Ceci's attention? Leave a really clever comment on social media. Or a really nasty one. Either way, she'll probably see it.
Now, if you'll excuse her, she's going back to writing in the third person about literally anyone else...
