ABOUT ME

I'm Emily Diament (pronounced DYE-UH-MINT). I practice public relations in the world's best city - New Orleans - and am fortunate to work with clients in industries that I care about most: food, music and entertainment. After over a decade of experience in the field, my greatest takeaway is that passion drives success. That's where I find joy, and that's how I - and my clients - see meaningful results. 

In 2017, I received my Accreditation in Public Relations (APR), testing my expertise within today's dynamic communications environment and demonstrating my personal and professional commitment to excellence.  

In March 2018, I began my career as an independent PR contractor, forming Diament Public Relations. I married the love of my life later that month, settled down in the city's best kept secret, Algiers Point, and hit the ground running.
