Have you ever landed in a new city and immediately felt at home? I’m not 100% sure how Warsaw did it, but I melted into the city like I belonged there. Huge thank you to IPREX and everyone involved with making these global meetings happen. And special thank you to @kumakson for hosting and showing us around town! I can’t wait to go back with the family!

About a month ago, I took a leap of faith and shared an #OpenToWork post with my @linkedin community.

Today, I’m so happy to share that I’ve joined @bearicebox Communications as Account Director!

This role feels like a natural next step in my journey, bringing together my love for journalism, strategic communications and helping leaders tell stories that build trust, inspire action and make an impact.

To everyone who shared my post, sent a lead, made an introduction, checked in, encouraged me or whispered a prayer on my behalf...thank you. I felt every bit of your support, and I’ll never forget it.

A special thank you to fellow @medillschool alumnus @spoerlbob and to @shesneon and @willesean for your vote of confidence in my talents, entrusting me with this opportunity and welcoming me to the Bear Icebox family. I can’t wait to see what we build together!

The full story is in the video below. 👇🏾

I’m incredibly thankful for God’s faithfulness and perfect timing— opening doors I never could have opened on my own. I’m walking into this new chapter with a grateful heart. ❤️

To hear from reporters who care deeply about Chicago and what matters to Chicagoans was hopeful and rejuvenating. Thank you to @publicityclubofchicago for hosting such a thoughtful panel with @axioschicago

Hey! Sara and Andrea here, taking over Letty’s socials for the day ✨

We’re part of the @lettysparrow and @bearicebox team, and we just had to share the ‘bag of Chicago magic’ that DeAnna surprised us with during her last visit to El Salvador! 🇸🇻🏙️

Getting to see these Chicago items in person feels so unreal, and we were thrilled to finally get our hands on the one and only ‘Chicago All Day’ sweaters from Letty’s own merch—arriving just in time for the holidays! 🎁✨

We couldn’t resist doing a little photoshoot to show them off! 📸

Thank you so much, DeAnna—this meant a lot to us. Happy Holidays you all! 🎄🎅

PS: You should get your sweater too! 👀 20% off on your perfect Christmas gift! 🎁 Link in bio
