Here's a look at the authors of the site:
Better known as simply Trubey to most, she graduated from West Chester University with a B.A. in English and minors in Journalism and Art. Liz was born and raised in the Philadelphia area (Malvern), and is not ashamed to admit that she has no plans on leaving. New to ASI, she likes the combination of creativity and the wonderful world of sports and entertainment, and enjoys that no two days are the same. Liz is obsessive about spending time with her four dogs. She also is an avid celeb gossip follower (hello, Perez Hilton), loves playing soccer and will blow off almost any prior engagement to go to a Phillies game. Speaking of...Ryan Howard, call her when you're single.
Mia, a graduate of Lehigh University, has a B.A. in Journalism with Design Arts and Communication minors. Living in Center City Philadelphia, she is working towards a Masters of Arts in Broadcasting, Telecommunication and Mass Media from Temple University, and will be graduating in Spring of 2011. As an avid (Philadelphia) sports fan since birth, and a former D1 volleyball player, she found ASI a perfect fit. Mia will try everything once and could quite possibly have an addiction to shopping. She loves to do arts and crafts, believes nothing beats a Philles game, terribly missses Brian Dawkins in Eagle green, and usually has her Shelties, Lito and Chase, by her side at all times.
Amira Hamid
The Senior Publicist at ASI, Amira Hamid is no new arrival to the world of media. She began her career in the fashion industry and quickly recognized her love and aptitude for all things media-related. As a result she devoted her energies to launching an internet radio station which was geared toward garnering exposure for Caribbean entertainers. While her first venture enjoyed great success within the Caribbean and international communities, Amira longed to merge her avid sports interest with her love of media.
Khaila Edward
Khaila is an Associate Publicist at Amira Shiraz Inc. She possesses nearly a decade of journalism, advertising, PR and marketing experience, having worked at advertising agencies, PR agencies and in corporate communication positions in Philadelphia, Washington DC, Massachusetts and the Caribbean.
