Cara Young

I’m a student and early-career professional building experience in social media marketing, website content management, and nonprofit communications. I like taking ownership, staying organized, and producing timely updates that people can rely on.

In a remote volunteer role, I manage and maintain website content using an Elementor-based WordPress system—updating shows, classes, and announcements, and handling time-sensitive changes like schedules and callback lists. I work independently while keeping information accurate and current.

As a Social Media Marketing/Office Intern with Habitat for Humanity, I supported mission-driven work by writing grant applications (with $100,000 obtained to date), maintaining Facebook and Instagram with daily updates, and updating the Habitat website for upcoming events and activities. I enjoy balancing creative marketing with practical, results-oriented coordination.

I bring strong leadership and communication skills developed through student government and service work, including roles like Alabama FBLA state officer leadership and ongoing community volunteering. I’m excited to contribute to a team that values clear communication, consistent execution, and real-world community impact.
