Welcome Rachel Milon, our Director of Communications and Marketing.

After attending Galena High School, Rachel graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from the University of Nevada, Reno in 2001 and spent the next four years studying advertising and working at agencies in San Francisco, New York and London. In 2005, She moved to London and accepted a public relations position working for a celebrity and entertainment-based PR firm and later the U.K.’s leading property PR agency.

Upon returning home to Reno, she accepted a position at RKPR Inc., a local PR agency specializing in travel and tourism, working with various clients including the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival and ARTown. In April, Rachel opened the doors of her company, Quick Brown Fox PR, where she worked with a range of clients in arts and entertainment, fashion and beauty, new technology and home restoration.
