White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters will leave her role in the coming months to take a job with a public relations company, the White House announced Tuesday.

Walters, who has worked with the administration from its beginning roughly two years ago, will leave in April to join Edelman Public Relations as its vice president of U.S. public affairs.

"It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the president in this administration,” Walters said in a statement.
