Later that year, she opened her own communications and media consulting firm, rebranded in 2018 as NReal Media Strategies, and Viri was named the “Progressive Voice of Nevada” by Vegas Seven Magazine in 2018 for her work on immigration and womens’ rights causes.
NReal Media continuously seeks to make an impact in the Nevada community either through its clients, or its pro bono work.
