Carli Brinkman studied public relations and communications at the University of Florida, then spent the early years of her career working in the fast-paced press office of one New York City’s busiest government agencies. Her desire to pursue proactive media outreach eventually led her to work in management level positions with a number of highly-credible agencies and organizations, including associate director of public relations for New York City’s official tourism marketing and events agency, NYC & Company, director of public relations and communications for Discover The Palm Beach Beaches, and managing director for Brickhouse Public Relations, before venturing out independently. Carli’s 14+ years of professional public relations experience has allowed her the opportunity to work intimately on such distinguished projects as Christo and Jean-Claude’s The Gates, Olafur Eliasson’s New York City Waterfalls, the Brooklyn Bridge’s 125th Anniversary, the 400th Anniversary of the Founding of the City of New York, the Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival, and the 2010 Rock the Vote Presidential Debate concert and screening.  Carli is currently practicing public relations in West Palm Beach, Florida.
