Originally from San Diego, Hodges started her career at Edelman Public Relations, where she was responsible for media analysis, analyst reporting, press relations and content creation. Working on both enterprise and consumer technology accounts, including Citrix and iRobot, she received a quick introduction to the high-paced world of public relations. Prior to Edelman, Hodges was a journalism student at Chico State University, where she sat on the Election Council. She also worked at the school’s student-managed public relations agency, Tehama Group Communications, where she developed communications campaigns for organizations including Habitat for Humanity and the Paradise Symphony.
Other than public relations, Hodges is an avid patron of the arts and is currently learning to sew in her spare time.
