MEET ELIZABETH BORSTING

With a public relations career spanning nearly 30 years, Elizabeth Borsting began her career penning celebrity profiles as an intern at Rogers & Cowan before transitioning into the world of retail and fashion where she further honed her skills in the public relations office at the California Mart.   She went on to serve as the publicist for the American Diabetes Association where she helped to promote such events as Woman of Valor honoring Goldie Hawn and the annual Celebrity Waiters Brunch.
​
In 1995 Elizabeth was hired as the public relations manager aboard the Queen Mary Hotel and Attraction in Long Beach where she spent the next few years overseeing the ship’s publicity efforts both domestically and abroad, as well as serving as the ship’s spokesperson. She often appeared in front of the camera on a number of local, regional, national and international news programs, from the BBC to CNN helping to promote the ship.  In her role as public relations manager, she also served as liaison to VIP guests including Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Senator Elizabeth Dole, Prince Michael of Kent and numerous Hollywood celebrities. 

Before the end of the decade, Elizabeth would start her own public relations consultancy representing restaurants, chefs, sommeliers, destination marketing organizations, hotels and inns.  She has also promoted and organized special events on behalf of her clients, including her very first client, Yard House, which she worked with for nearly 20 years and oversaw some 60 restaurant openings.  

In addition to her work in public relations, Elizabeth is also an award-winning travel writer and author of nine books.  For many years she served as the Coachella Valley restaurant writer for Gayot and continues to write travel features for various media outlets.  Her work has been published in National Geographic Traveler, Los Angeles Times and Orange Coast Magazine, just to name a few.  

We could sing our praises, but
​we'll let others carry the tune, instead.
