Communications Pacific Hires Two New Staffers

HONOLULU – Communications Pacific (CommPac) has hired Shere’e Young as an assistant account executive and Theresa Webber as an account coordinator.

“We’re excited to have Shere’e back on our team after she took some time to pursue an interest in broadcast journalism,” said Kitty Lagareta, CommPac CEO. “She was with us in 2010 as an intern and then an assistant account executive, so she’s familiar with CommPac’s approach to client service. Theresa has a strong background in marketing and planning, as well as graphic design and social media, talents that we are putting to good use for our clients.”

Young rejoined CommPac after working as a news producer at KITV4 – in which capacity she won an Emmy Award for “Best Newscast in a Medium Market.” Born and raised in Hawaii, she is a graduate of the University of Hawaii where she majored in broadcast journalism with a minor in speech. At UH, Young served as a DJ and promotions director for KTUH, the campus radio station, and was a reporter for the student newspaper, Ka Leo O Hawaii.

Webber will provide support to a number of clients in the areas of corporate communications, tourism public relations, and digital and social media. Before joining CommPac, Webber worked in human resources at 4Sight Technologies in Boston, Mass. Earlier, she worked at Altus Marketing and Management, where she assisted in the planning and execution of events for charitable foundations and served as in-house graphic designer. She is a graduate of Boston University, where she majored in communications with an emphasis in advertising.
