New Year with Kite Hill: Our Goals and Resolutions for 2024

It's a brand new year, and we are already buzzing with excitement about what's to come in 2024! This time of year always feels like a fresh start, a blank canvas waiting to be painted with new experiences and opportunities. At Kite Hill PR, we believe in the power of goal setting and we're eagerly embracing the challenge to learn, improve, and grow both individually and as a team. Our team members have shared their personal resolutions for the year ahead, and we hope their ideas can inspire you to create your own list of goals for 2024. 

I’ve always prioritized things that spark joy, but my goal for 2024 is to de-prioritize things that do not spark joy. (I have a hard time saying “no,” so this will be tough for me!) I’m hoping to focus on the things I can do in all aspects of my life that provide the greatest impact.

- Rachel Hadley, Chief Operating Officer

I am looking forward to continued growth and providing leadership and new perspectives here at Kite Hill PR. I tend to focus on one word for the new year and for 2024 that word is intentional. I want it to permeate my work and my life outside of work. That word will be the foundation on which I will pursue great things in the new year for myself, my teams, clients and the agency!!!  

- Charlyne H. McWilliams, SVP 

As a tenured employee, I will be taking my sabbatical this year. My goal for 2024 is to travel to new places, see as many sunsets and sunrises as possible, spend time with family and gain the courage to move up to the advanced level of my dance class. 

- Sammy Jordan, Senior Account Director

My goals for 2024 are to prioritize creativity, pursue new learning opportunities and practice more gratitude - both personally and professionally. Looking forward to kicking off the new year with a fresh perspective!

- Alexandra Morrison, Account Manager

I plan to prioritize joy, health, and balance. I look forward to spending more quality time with close family and friends, soaking up special moments with my husband and our puppy, Cooper, continuing to contribute to the community I’m lucky enough to call home, and leaning into my creative passions to fuel my professional and personal development.

- Mackenzie Sikora, Senior Account Director

My goal for 2024 is to invest more time into learning a new language! I am always looking to gain new perspectives and I know that this would be a great way to expand my cultural reach. In a place like Miami, there are a plethora of classes to take and plenty of places to practice! 

- Lauryn Russell, Account Associate

My goal in the upcoming year is to prioritize growth, learning, and gratitude in both my professional and personal life. I'd also love to dedicate more quality time to my loved ones. By balancing both my professional and personal life, I hope to create a fulfilling and supportive environment for personal development while nurturing meaningful relationships with those who matter the most to me.

- Lara Schembri, Senior Account Executive 

After a year of big changes for my family, this next year is going to be all about having FUN! I've already created a list of 24 fun activities I intend to do in 2024. Let the laughing commence!

- Phyllis Beck, Culture & Workplace Experience Manager

In the year ahead I plan to say “yes” to more experiences and hobbies that will spark creativity and joy. I am looking forward to continuing to focus on professional and personal growth, connecting with friends and family and traveling somewhere new for my sabbatical. 

- Kyle Murray, Senior Account Supervisor 

My goal for the year ahead is to focus on passion and collaboration! I’ve grown both professionally and personally over the past year, and I’m looking forward to experiencing new learning opportunities in 2024! 

- Julia Worthington, Account Executive 

My goal for the year ahead is to continue to practice gratitude and balance in my life. I would love to keep learning new things about myself, my career, and the people around me. I am hoping for a year of growth, new experiences, and fun! 

- Andrea Martinez, Assistant Account Associate 

I’m looking forward to a lot in 2024. My goals are to stay focused on growth while celebrating life milestones along the way, and my mantra (as always) is to stay balanced throughout life. 

- Maggie Stasko, Senior Account Manager 


My goal for 2024 is to build resilience by confronting fears head-on, learning from setbacks, and embracing challenges with a positive mindset. That and also teaching myself the value of saying, “Let them!” to things (and people) you can’t control. My hope is to put these into practice and foster a stronger sense of self.  

- Geanna Diaz, Account Manager 


I have chosen 'consistency' as my word for the year 2024. I aim to maintain a consistent approach towards achieving my goals and resolutions, both in my personal and professional life. By prioritizing consistency, I hope to develop positive habits that will help me achieve long-term success and happiness.

- Holly Rust, Senior Account Executive
