What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values collaboration and allows me to drive impactful communications strategies.

As a communications coordinator with over 5 years of experience, I specialize in digital storytelling, content strategy, and public-facing campaigns within the public health and nonprofit sectors. My work is driven by a commitment to equity, community wellness, and social impact, allowing me to craft compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences.

In my current role as the Equity & Communications Program Coordinator at the SC Department of Health, I collaborate with marketing and outreach teams to develop persuasive storytelling materials and execute impactful email campaigns. My previous experience includes consulting for organizations like the National Association of City and County Health Officials, where I successfully increased audience engagement through strategic social media campaigns.

With a Master's Degree in Communications and a strong foundation in anthropology, I bring a unique perspective to my work. I am passionate about environmental and climate justice and strive to create inclusive, anti-racist communications that foster collaboration and community engagement.
