Plated Public Relations

As I flip through my feed, all I see are businesses closing their doors during the pandemic. This is an extremely stressful time for everyone, and especially small businesses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I wanted to hop on here and give some love to the local producers, artisans, restaurants and coffee shops who are being hit hard by the pandemic. It is so important to continue to shop local, while you may be stocking up for a 2 week stay at home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My name is Jacquie DuVal. I am a mom to two beautiful girls, Anna, my sing-songy four-year-old and my fiery red headed 2 year-old named Eveline. I am the solopreneur behind Plated PR. I am also wife to an increadibly supportive husband, Justin!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I started my business when I was on maternity leave with Anna. I knew I couldn't work a 9-5 job anymore. Being away from my daughter for more hours out of the week than I was with her wasn't an option for me. That's why I decided to try my hand at my own business. It's been three (!!) years since I dove head first into Plated PR and while it's had it's ups and downs, I couldn't be happier with my decision. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A few facts about me: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- I love food (obviously), but nothing more than smoked salmon, chocolate covered almonds and strong cheeses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- I have three sisters. It was a busy family of girls growing up! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- My girls are my why. Every decision I've made since I brought them into the world have ad their best interests in mind. I'm one lucky mom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
