Jetty-Jane Communications
About me
With over a decade of experience in the hospitality sector, I have done PR and Communications for a myriad of clients. I got my start at Evyn Block Communications working for the esteemed Michelin-starred Gotham Bar and Grill who moved with me to The Door, where I worked for over six years. In that time I opened and worked with countless chefs and restaurants, both fine dining and fast-casual, worked on CPG’s (Tate’s Cookies!), cookbooks, led the team for The New York City Wine & Food Festival and South Beach Wine and Food Festival, and dived into a lot of projects.
When the opportunity presented itself, I went in house at Momofuku representing all the restaurants and the force that is David Chang both; it was there I learned how to represent a major food personality. After two years I got the opportunity to work for hospitality legend Danny Meyer and went in house for Union Square Hospitality Group in Nov 2019. I had a few months of normalcy before covid hit and I remained on staff when USHG got down to 63 employees from almost 2500 and stayed on throughout those miserable covid years doing everything from crisis PR to social media to stringing up twinkly lights for Gramercy Tavern's outdoor dining space. No task was beneath me, we were all hands on deck.
In early 2022 I came down with a very rare and life-threatening illness called auto-immune encephalitis (If you’ve read the book or watched the movie Brain on Fire you know what it is) and spent 64 days straight in the hospital.
I’m now ready for my next chapter in starting my own consultancy, which is why you’re reading this. With my new lease on life I only want to work with kind-hearted people and brands that have meaning, passion, drive, and that have a truly compelling story to tell. I believe PR is driven through narrative and I’m ready to start telling stories again, beginning with yours!
I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Chicago with a major in English and Spanish minor.
