Five Minutes With Morgan Mandriota.

Morgan Mandriota - Newsletter Editor

1.Tell us about your current occupation and how you landed such a fabulous job.

I’m currently a newsletter editor at Healthline. I was a freelance writer for years before I landed a staff writer job at Psych Central, a sister site to Healthline, in 2021. I transitioned over here in 2022, and I’m incredibly grateful because I love this work and my team.

2. What's your best advice for PR professionals?

Building genuine relationships with writers and editors will go a long way in securing long-term coverage opportunities. Take the time to research who you’re pitching and what type of content they cover. Oh, and please try not to follow up on pitches multiple times! If we’re interested, we’ll definitely respond, even if it takes us a little while.

3. What's a fun fact about you?

I have my motorcycle license, and I collect vintage fruit and vegetable shaped home decor. Oops, that’s two.

3. What is your favorite nonprofit?

The Trevor Project

4. Favorite meal, movie, or vacation spot? 

Favorite Movie: Donnie Darko.
