Meet The Team
Our team is actively engaged with our clients, working closely together to achieve the goals of your brand.
Rae Pardini Matson
Founder and #Girlboss extraordinaire of RPM PR, Rae Pardini Matson is grounded in love and family. Born and raised in Fresno, Rae spent her early twenties in LA and cut her teeth in the entertainment industry, working for the likes of People Magazine, Sony Pictures, and Cosmopolitan. After returning to her hometown, Rae put down roots in her community and aims to champion local companies whenever possible. She seamlessly runs the show at RPM PR, supporting clients and turning their business dreams into reality with her expertise and national media reach. Rae is a new mom married to a fellow Fresno lifer, proud USC Trojan, and true believer in the power of the perfect #hashtag.

Marcy Oliver
Born and raised in the Central Valley, Marcy has a true passion for her community and helping it thrive. After graduating from Fresno State with a Business Administration degree, she has a natural ability to lead a team, keep clients happy, coordinate timely media initiatives and close deals. Marcy’s true passion is discovering each person’s unique story and in turn, changing the score for their business. When Marcy isn’t taking care of clients or dreaming up the next big pitch, you can find her with her family rock climbing, playing tennis or at a local coffee shop.

Cece Quinn
A Fresno native, Cece cultivated a love of writing at a very young age and was thrilled to discover after college that she could actually make it her career. She has worked as a copywriter and marketer since 2010, and loves crafting creative messaging for RPM PR clients as a brand strategist. When she's not busy wordsmithing and brainstorming, you can find Cece hanging with her husband and two babies, hunting for the world's best scoop of ice cream, or lecturing anyone who will listen about the importance of an Oxford comma.

Gianna Cardella
Gianna Cardella supports RPM team as our Photographer, using her photo and video skills to create beautiful, on-brand content for our clients. What does she love about being on the team, you might ask? Having a creative outlet with the support of a strong crew. Besides photography, Gianna spends time exploring local restaurants, snowboarding at China Peak, and traveling any chance she gets.

She loves being a part of the RPM #dreamteam because of the tight-knit support system, and our awesome clients, of course.

Maria Nyren
Meet our rockstar graphic designer, Maria Nyren. Maria moved from Sweden to Los Angeles eight years ago to pursue her dreams in the world of graphics. An award-winning designer, Maria supports the RPM team in making our visions come to life. When she’s not practicing her passion, she’s either snapping beautiful photos, sipping a strong cup of joe, or listening to podcasts on the beach.
