Storytelling & Communications with Milka Horst

Welcome Milka Horst, to PRSay – the podcast of the Houston PRSA Chapter. In this episode, Milka shares about Storytelling & Communications. Milka was born, raised, and educated in Puerto Rico. She left the island to continue her education in Spanish Language Broadcasting at Florida International University in Miami. Milka's journalism career started in 2001 in Washington DC as an intern covering the 9/11 attacks with Telemundo Network. Later on, she joined the Telemundo Network team again, this time in Miami, as an Associate Producer. After leaving Miami, she joined Univision Online national team as the Online Editor for Univision 45 in Houston. Motherhood shifted her priorities, and pivoted her career to education and taught advanced Spanish at the high school level for 11 years. Wanting to return to communications, but not journalism, Milka pivoted again into Marketing, specifically as a freelance social media strategist for small businesses. She fell in love with creativity, design, and digital storytelling again. Milka joined her current team at The Spears Group, a medium-sized communications firm based in New Orleans, as a PR Specialist. She has been able to serve government agencies (local and statewide), large non-profit organizations and foundations, private companies in the banking fields, and at music and food festivals produced by her team.
