Does PR here stand for Public Relationship?

-----------------------------
I think back on the story of Justine Sacco, an unassuming 30-year-old PR professional who drew the wrath of the internet by tweeting an AIDS joke in 2013. En route to Cape Town, she tweeted, “Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white!”

It stands for "Public Relations". Let's hope she didn't keep her job for long after that moronic tweet.
