Pioneer Telephone is very active in the communities it serves, and as part of that process, they employ public relations specialists.
Pioneer also has a monthly publication it sends out to the communities it serves, and in the September issue of “Go-Pioneer,” the companies specialists were featured.
Among those was Robin Fielder, who serves the Newcastle andBlanchard areas.
The following is first-person article as it was published in “GoPioneer.”
Hey, I’m Robin Fielder, public relations specialist for the incredible company, Pioneer.
One of the best parts of my job is that I get to spend ample time in my hometown of Newcastle, home to the best mascot this side of the world ... drum roll ... the Newcastle Racers!
While there are Lions, Tigers, Demons and Bobcats in my exchanges, I cherish all the friendships I’ve built with each one. I’d cheer for them too —if they weren’t playing against the Racers!
Before joining Pioneer, I was an entrepreneur at Queen of the Tees, with locations in Newcastle and Purcell. We created vibrant and sparkly spirit wear for schools, teams, businesses, and groups. We also had a spirited gift shop and tanning salon. This was such a fun job!
I made so many lifelong friendships and am so grateful for the 15 years I spent there. However, it was time for a change as I was growing older, so, at 51, I applied for a LOCAL Public Relations position with Pioneer.
Miraculously, I landed my dream job! It was one of my best decisions. I discovered so many uhmazing people, not only in the Pioneer family, but in the Tri-City area that I didn’t even know!
I can easily say that I have the best “framily” (friends who are like family) groups! This role has allowed me to build awesome relationships, reconnect with old friends, and spread love among the locals — one of my favorite activities. I’ve participated in numerous parades, held Board of Director positions, and attended countless events. I truly am a lucky girl!
Some of my favorite things include a warm cup of sugary coffee in the morning, cozying up with a Hallmark movie, a fresh bouquet of flowers, or enjoying a Sunday afternoon nap.
I absolutely love Christmas music, the OU football season, a warm crockpot meal after a long day, furry socks, Christmas lights, playing pickleball, weekend escapades with my dear friends, belting out my favorite songs, and dancing. But at the tiptop of my favorites list is my family! Kelsie Jr., my devoted husband of almost 25 years, Kelsie Three, my sweet son, and Kasadie, my crazy, bighearted girl. We’re not quite empty nesters — according to Kelsie.
My son operates a thriving business that often takes him away, while my daughter, a junior at Auburn University in Alabama, proudly represents the Auburn Livestock Judging Team ... Boomer Sooner!
I’m still getting the hang of this chapter of life, but so far, I’m loving it!
