What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my communication skills in dynamic environments, fostering collaboration and creativity.

I am a strategic communicator with a rich background in arts education and event coordination. My passion lies in storytelling that connects diverse audiences, simplifying complex information, and crafting messages that inspire action. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s in Strategic Communication and Digital Strategy to deepen my expertise in measuring and optimizing communications.

In my role as Assistant Director of Forensics at Seven Lakes High School, I manage and mentor over 150 students, fostering leadership and critical thinking skills that have earned national accolades. I have developed and executed strategic communication plans for a nationally recognized program, ensuring clarity and engagement across students, staff, and external partners. My previous experience includes optimizing digital content and marketing strategies, where I leveraged SEO and Google Ads to enhance audience engagement.
