Here at BLASTmedia, we have some interesting characters - all different backgrounds, different personality types and interesting stories. We recently had the idea to let you in on who the people are behind the media coverage, the Twitter profiles and the BLASTmedia blog. Starting today, we will highlight someone here at BLASTmedia each month to give you a closer look at who they are, where they've come from, and what they're up to here at BLAST.

This month, we're taking the time to profile one of our media relations specialists, Hillary Money. Joining the BLAST team over a year ago, Hillary has had some big media hits, such as Seventeen Magazine (the upcoming August issue) and USA Today. Here's Hillary!
