Leadership Delaware County '20 Name: Lauren Contino Hometown: Ridley Township, PA Position: Sr. Manager, Corporate Communications Company: Crozer-Keystone Health System Length of time you have with your company: 2.5 years Briefly describe your journey, noting both personal milestones and obstacles you may have faced along the way. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with people and their stories. My gift for turning strangers into friends with my genuine interest in who they are, where they come from and where they want to go, has always been at the core of who I am. In 2008 I graduated from East Stroudsburg University with a bachelor's degree in speech communication. At the time, I was kind of all over the place in terms of what “type” of public relations I wanted to pursue — Was I more agency or in-house? Was I consumer or corporate, crisis, or internal comms? The beauty of public relations is that it spans so many different sectors, and it encompasses far more than media relations. My career first began in the world of government and politics. Through various roles and responsibilities, I became an image shaper, preparing me for my first state-level role in 2013 as the Public Relations Manager for a local elected official in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. It was my responsibility to generate positive publicity for the group or individual I was working for and enhance their overall image and reputation.
