Nicole Rodrigues proudly accepted the Trailblazer Award for her extraordinary entrepreneurial and leadership expertise at the 2025 USPAACC WISE SHEroes event
BEVERLY HILLS, CA — March 28, 2025 — NRPR Group Inc (NRPR), an award-winning, full-service public relations and creative marketing agency radically committed to reshaping the art of media relations, is proud to announce the company’s CEO and founder, Nicole Rodrigues, earned the esteemed recognition as a Trailblazer Awardee in the Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation category at the fourth annual USPAACC WISE (Women Initiative for Strategic Empowerment) SHEroes event. The USPAACC WISE exists to celebrate women leaders who empower, inspire, and pave the way for future generations, and honored Nicole as a female entrepreneur of this caliber. Nicole was presented with this award for her relentless work as a fearless woman entrepreneur and her professional journey filled with remarkable milestones.
“Receiving the Trailblazer Award is a tremendous honor and fills me with immense pride,” said Nicole Rodrigues, NRPR’s CEO and founder. “This recognition marks a significant milestone in my career and serves as a reminder that no matter how long you’ve been a leader in any industry, there’s always room for growth and new achievements. With 25 years of experience in PR and nearly 11 years of running my own agency, the road hasn’t always been easy. I’ve had to adjust my strategies along the way to stay ahead of emerging trends, and navigating these changes along with unexpected challenges has brought me to where I am today. I couldn’t be more proud to be recognized for my professional efforts. I hope to inspire women around the world to chase their dreams with courage, passion, and resilience.”
Held during Women’s History Month with over 200 women entrepreneurs and executives in attendance, the USPAACC WISE paid tribute to women creating a positive difference in communities and industries. The mayor of Fremont, Raj Salwan, was proudly in attendance to celebrate and support the women recognized for their leadership contributions. This year’s event featured presentations from dynamic entrepreneurs, a women’s marketplace to shine a spotlight on women-owned products and services, and sessions for leaders to discover how to enhance personal branding.
“It was a true honor to be surrounded by like-minded women who dare to dream, break barriers, and rewrite the narrative for women. Women are powerful and when we work together we can be strong forces for positivity, structure, fun and change in the workplace. The best part is so many of us can do all of this at work and still have the energy and love to go home at the end of a long work day to nurture our family. I strive to be a supportive and empowering leader for my team to create an uplifting environment where everyone feels valued. This award is not only for me, but for my hard-working team who has made this achievement possible with their dedication. Together, we work in stride to deliver exceptional results and exceed our clients expectations.”
