Megan Semmelman

A graduate from Roanoke College with a degree in sociology, Megan Semmelman is the most recent addition to Hodges. She came to Richmond from Pennsylvania in 2011 and started out at the Richmond Metropolitan Convention & Visitors Bureau as a public relations assistant. At Hodges, Megan has proven her media relations skills with accounts like Reginald’s Homemade, ChildFund International and Cupron. She is also involved with the Richmond PRSA chapter. Megan lives in The Fan and loves exploring all that Richmond has to offer in the way of restaurants, music and the outdoors.

Proudest professional achievement (and why):

Getting a job here. When I decided I was moving to Richmond following graduation, I set my sights on Hodges for some time in my future. I didn’t know when it would happen, but I’m so glad it did.

Proudest personal achievement (and why):

Bungee jumping off the third highest spot in the world in Zambia. They say life begins at the end of your comfort zone…

I consider the day a success if:

I’ve made at least one person smile.

Outside of the office, you’ll probably find me:

Traveling, reading, enjoying music, spending time with friends and family and discovering all that Richmond has to offer – especially in dining and the outdoors!

The first/last thing I do at the office each day is:

Check my email.

Most important thing on my desk right now (and why):

For my mind: a quote by Souza that reads, “Life is a journey, not a destination.” For my sanity: a calendar.
