Inspired by her cousin, Margie Korshak, a renowned Chicago publicist, Ms. Much knew from an early age that she wanted to be a publicist. "Public relations is the perfect career for me. It combines all of the things that I love to do -- writing, communicating, and traveling," she says. "I see the amazing effects that P.R. has provided for my clients and it is tremendously gratifying."
