KERRY FOSBRE-TROYAN – A successful P.R. & Marketing Specialist for 17 years, Kerry attended LIM, a privately owned and fully accredited college in New York City. From there, she graduated with a Bachelors Degree with a focus in Marketing & International Business. Her work in public relations, marketing, fund raising and image consulting has afforded her the opportunity to work on both a national and international level. Her clients have included top couturier fashion designers from around the world, cosmetic and health & beauty aid companies, upscale luxury/lifestyle items as well as the launch of several consumer and retail products.
Working at two New York City based modeling agencies she has launched the careers of countless faces in New York, Paris, Milan and South Africa. A consumer electronics giant and world famous chocolatier have also fallen under her top roster of clients.
Fosbre-Troyan is confident in the practices of public relations and marketing and appreciates an ever-changing world, which allows for her ever-changing and fresh approach to all projects. Kerry prides herself on her public speaking ability, which has landed her on the stage of Carnegie Hall inNew York City in front of 1,500 onlookers and in numerous other settings with thousands of onlookers. With this ability she finds it very natural to media train and offer executives presentation skills and techniques. She has developed a series of seminars targeted at young students about to enter college and those about to embark on their careers. These seminars are entitled; “NEVER LET ‘EM SEE YOU SWEAT”, “WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?” and “DEVELOPING PROFESSIONALISM” which she has performed countless times at the New York City Public Library.
One of her secret passions has been her professional modeling career for 20 years. In her spare time, Kerry feels fortunate to train young girls in four areas of modeling; runway, print, promotion and television as well as self-confidence and personality, which she herself has coveted since attending charm school. Realizing what this had done for her at age 15, she now feels very strongly about working in this realm. It’s Fosbre-Troyan’s dynamic personality and “drive with a conscience” that has helped her to achieve her goal of being what she wants to be – HAPPY!
Feeling fortunate for her training, education and experiences, she supports scholarships and local charities through past and present Rotary International events at the local level. Also, Kerry Fosbre is active within the Ocean County Library Foundation and also actively presents seminars to parents of college students helping them to acquire financial aid. This is done with no strings attached. In addition, Kerry is involved in her private family's foundation giving back to D.A.R.E. at the local levels, local libraires, schools, and hospitals. Her most recent community outreach includes supporting the "Champions of Youth" program through Boys & Girls Club of America by mentoring high school students to achieve their dreams of being Happy, too!!
Today she handles clients in the private sector guiding them through marketing strategies and garnering press coverage to build awareness and encourage growth. Enjoying time with her large family and abundant circle of friends is what she truly cherishes and finds she adores more than anything in Life – People make her “world go ‘round”!!
