Veteran journalist and PR pro appointed to Lead Oakland County's public communications department

Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter announced the appointment of Teresa Mask Recinto as director of the Department of Public Communications.

In that role, Recinto will lead a team of writers, artists, videographers, and communications and community engagement professionals who are working to inform residents, businesses, and communities about the work that Oakland County does and what services, programs, and resources are available to them.

“So much of what Oakland County does touches the lives of its residents in both small and significant ways and the Department of Public Communications is an essential conduit to link our residents to the information they need to help them navigate bureaucracy and access services ranging from mental health care to education and training to small business consulting,” Coulter said. “Teresa brings an incredible depth of experience in media and corporate communications that will help the county deliver the facts and data to the public in clear and meaningful ways.”

Before joining Oakland County, Recinto spent 10 years at AT&T, starting out as the lead communications and public relations manager for Michigan and ending as the national director of communications and PR for diversity and inclusion and corporate social responsibility. She also was an education reporter and assistant metro editor at the Detroit Free Press and the regional editor for Patch.com.

“Oakland County has so many great and impactful stories to tell, especially about how new programs and services are helping residents and businesses succeed and thrive,” Recinto said. “I’m excited to help build even more awareness about what the county is doing to support its residents.”

Recinto graduated from Butler University in Indianapolis with a degree in Journalism.
