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.

Jane Brigham

Vice President

How long have you lived in the Pacific Northwest? 30 years!

A little bit about yourself? I help lead campaign and communication strategies for the agency’s client portfolio, as well as manage a personal portfolio of travel and tourism clients. I am a hard-working thrill-seeker with a love for adventure and new experiences. I am happiest when spending time in the outdoors and with friends.

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!

A little bit about yourself? I started my marketing and broadcast career with the Portland Trail Blazers (so fun!), and since then have been writing, creating and publishing content for everything from the golf industry and retail associations to healthy cooking and wellness. I’m also a certified health coach and served as KPTV's healthy eating expert on More Good Day Oregon for five years.

Carlin Rasky

Account Lead

How long have you lived in the Pacific Northwest? Four years now! I’m from Tallahassee originally, but I’ve always wanted to live in Oregon and I’m so excited to finally be living my dream.

A little bit about yourself? I am dependable, eager to learn, and passionate about getting clients results that help them stand out from the crowd. I love that every day is a little different in the world of public relations. We work in an industry that’s constantly evolving and what we do today can make a difference on what tomorrow will bring.

Bucket list vacation? I’ve always wanted to go hiking in New Zealand!

Haley Landis

Junior Account Lead

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!

Junior Account Lead

How long have you lived in the Pacific Northwest? 

I went to college in Portland, for almost four years except for the short time that I was home during the pandemic. After college, I moved away for graduate school but returned as soon as I was done.

A little bit about yourself? 

I recently graduated with my MS in Public Relations from Boston University, completing my degree this past summer while studying abroad and interning in London. During my time there, I fell in love with working in travel and hospitality PR. Now, at Lawrence PR, I’m excited to bring together my knowledge and passion for the travel and hospitality industry to serve our clients in meaningful ways.

Dream job as a kid? 

A baker. And while I don't do it professionally, I still love to do it in my free time.

Jenica Villamor

Media RElations Manager

How long have you lived in the Pacific Northwest? Oregon for 21 Years and Washington before that.

A little bit about yourself? I have six years of experience as a journalist, which means I enterprised, shot, wrote and edited all of my stories for air. As a reporter for FOX12 in Portland, I covered entertainment and lifestyle news. 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.

Fun fact about yourself? I've played ultimate frisbee for over 10 years. My team won our College National Championship. Now, I play on Oregon's elite women's team and spend my time traveling around the country competing at the highest level of the sport.
