April Cadena loves working with the media – probably because she spent nearly 18 years as a broadcast journalist herself. During her time as a TV journalist and executive producer, nothing beat the thrill of covering breaking news or “getting the exclusive.”
As Public Relations Chief of Staff at Androvett, Cadena gets that same rush of excitement every time she’s able to use her experience to help her clients. “I see most things through media eyes,” she says. “There’s nothing better than being able to use that to help tell a client’s story.”
