Maria's PR Tips

Hi, I’m Maria Lopes, public relations student, creative strategist in training, and lifelong lover of words.

This space is where I share PR insights, personal branding tips, and real talk about showing up online with both intention and integrity. Whether you’re building a brand, managing a message, or just trying to find your voice in a noisy digital world, I’ve got something for you.

I believe good PR isn’t just about polish. It’s about presence. About knowing who you are, what you value, and how to communicate that clearly, without losing your soul in the process.

My background? I’ve worked across media, youth leadership, podcasting, and video production. I’ve been the spokesperson, the strategist, the support staff, and sometimes… the person rewriting a caption twenty times at 2am. I know what it feels like to want to be authentic and strategic at the same time, and that’s what I bring to the table.

This blog exists to help you:

• Grow your confidence as a communicator
• Build a personal brand that feels true to you
• Navigate the tension between aesthetic & authenticity

Thanks for being here.
Let’s make your message matter.
