Her next stop was PR Newswire, where she perfected her knowledge of the newswire end of public relations and investor relations. It was while at PR Newswire that Rice developed a passion for corporate social responsibility, which is expressed in the enthusiasm, creativity, and integrity that she currently brings to her clients' communications initiatives.

"Marisa brings a keen understanding of the products and services necessary to help facilitate communication professionals' messaging," said Joe Sibilia, CEO of CSRwire.
