Highly motivated individual specializing in digital engagement and project management.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated and organized professional, I am committed to community involvement and have a solid foundation in communication and project management. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in History and Journalism at the University of Dallas, I have developed strong research, writing, and critical thinking skills that I leverage in my roles. My experience as a Digital Media Coordinator at Williams-Mystic Seaport has allowed me to manage and schedule content across various digital platforms, ensuring brand consistency and effectively targeting potential applicants and donors.
In addition to my digital media experience, I co-founded and served as Editor in Chief of a youth-run newspaper, where I honed my project management skills by coordinating content and recruiting contributors. My leadership roles, including my position as Pavilion Ambassador at Live Nation, have further strengthened my interpersonal and communication skills. I am passionate about using my expertise in digital content creation and data analysis to champion communities and drive engagement.
