The Agency Network is excited to welcome 2 new members to the team. Please join us in welcoming Becky Knop and Paul Straus. Let’s learn a little more about them!
Becky Knop
Senior Project Manager
How did you get your start in project management? By chance! A friend helped me get a job as a project coordinator, and I worked my way up to project management and quickly realized I loved it!
What do you like to do when you’re not working? I like to travel when I can, but realistically, I'm just trying to keep up with my 1-year-old daughter.
What is the best advice you have received? Family always comes first!
Fun fact about yourself? My husband and I lived in 6 different states in a 2-year period while he was a travel nurse (South Carolina, Maine, Texas, Florida, Colorado, Montana).
Paul Straus
Senior Editor
What do you like most about editorial work? Chaotic world, chaotic field, anything can happen. It’s all in a day’s work.
What’s the best advice you ever received? My first boss, Bob Gallagher, PR Director at the erstwhile St. Agnes Medical Center in South Philly, advised: “Take your job seriously but not yourself.”
What’s your secret talent? I have no musical talent, but I’ve been a radio DJ and know a bit about old-school rock and soul. In fact, I was once a contestant on VH1’s “Rock & Roll Jeopardy!” (hosted by Jeff Probst).
