Angie Galimanis
Owner/President
How long have you lived in the Pacific Northwest? 51 years, by the way, now you know how old I am.
A little bit about yourself? I absolutely love my job. Really, I do. I started my career as a journalist at KGW, another job I loved. After working with a number of publicists, I decided to make the switch over and am so glad that I did. My job allows me to work with some of the best and brightest in the industry - my staff, our clients, the media we’re communicating with - their ideas and creativity inspire me everyday.
All time favorite Podcast? New York Times’ The Daily and Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend. I love them the same and could never pick a favorite.

Favorite place in the world? It’s a tie between Gearhart, Ore., and Mt. Hood. You can find me at the beach or on the mountain!

How long have you lived in the Pacific Northwest? I grew up in Portland, so basically my whole life! I left for a few years while I was in college, but moved back the summer after graduating.
A little bit about yourself? As a Portland native, I love to do pretty much anything outdoors! In the winter I love to head to the mountains to ski, and in the summer I’ll be in or on any body of water I can find. Studying journalism at University of Oregon helped me discover my love of storytelling and fueled my passion for writing — two things I can’t wait to do more of at Lawrence PR!
Any cool party tricks? I was a gymnast for around 13 years and can still walk around on my hands!

Aside from a strong on-camera presence, my segments required compelling storytelling, coordination and planning, all skills I use now that I am a part of Lawrence PR.
