About Stacey Howell

My favorite advice comes from the legendary Mark Twain: “You cannot depend on your eyes if your imagination is out of focus.” Hey there, I\'m Stacey! I graduated from the University of North Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Multimedia Journalism and Production. I like to say I\'m a professional #ChaosCoordinator. I\'m a former newsie turned PR Specialist with ChenMed, one of the nation\'s leading primary care providers. I manage PR for our company\'s Dedicated Senior Medical Center Brand. I also help manage PR across new markets nationwide as ChenMed continues expanding its vision for VIP, transformative, value-based senior care. I thank God for the path he made leading me to ChenMed where I\'m able to utilize my passions and talents with his purpose and plan for me. I love connecting with journalists and producers nationwide! Please message me on LinkedIn if you\'d like to connect about story ideas, scheduling interviews, and digital content. Coming from a news background, I\'m a BIG believer in the importance of local news. You\'ll see #LocalNewsMatters in many of my posts! My background: I\'m an innovative thinker with more than a decade of experience in all aspects of media relations. I\'m a visionary creator, editor, and storyteller. I excel at taking an idea from concept to delivery to produce engaging and targeted content. I\'m highly collaborative in working closely with strategic and creative teams to develop and produce quality content. My skills include marketing, social media, planning, production, editing, and project management. I spend my free time raising awareness for Type 1 Diabetes, supporting local sports (GO ICEMEN & GO JAGS!), and spoiling my dogs Gabby and Ryeder.
