What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a collaborative role where I can use cross-cultural communication, content creation, and media skills to support shared goals and continue growing professionally.

I've created social content for Music Daily and Ballard Spahr, producing 7+ TikTok videos weekly and developing about 20 branded posts.

I've also taught English internationally, leading immersion classes for young learners at Creverse Academy in South Korea and supporting language and cultural lessons in Madrid.

I bring media studies training, cross-cultural communication, and experience collaborating with teachers, parents, creative teams, and hospitality guests.
