I’ve led digital advocacy campaigns, managed social media presence to grow reach and engagement, and built journalist and media relationships to increase visibility. I also sourced and negotiated strategic media partnerships, facilitated contract closures, and supported operational excellence through confident coordination, minute taking, and high-standard communications.
