Cristina M. Calvet-Harrold

Founder & President

Prior to launching CCH Marketing & Public Relations in 2007, I worked for almost 5 years at Wyndham Vacation Ownership in the corporate marketing department. I really enjoy the work that I am doing now and we look forward to providing marketing, advertising, public relations and event planning services to many more businesses. We also offer green marketing and event planning services. What began as a personal commitment to lessen my impact on the environment has evolved into an important aspect of how I conduct business, and how I can advise my clients to do the same, profitably.
