What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead culturally resonant content, creator partnerships, and community-driven campaigns from strategy through production, helping organizations turn mission and brand goals into meaningful audience engagement.

I've led creator campaigns and digital strategy for VICE Media MEA and Invisible Hand, connecting brands, NGOs, and communities with the right talent and stories. My work has supported campaigns for Define American and Climate Power, generating 3M+ views and 87+ days of watch time.

I manage content from research, creator outreach, contracts, and budgets through storyboarding, shoots, edits, delivery, and performance reporting. I also build practical toolkits and facilitate workshops that help organizations strengthen their digital strategy and creator partnerships.

My production background spans podcasts, social video, news, television, and cultural writing, including work with Trauma to Triumph Podcast, Snapchat, The View, POPSUGAR, and XoNecole. I bring a culturally aware editorial lens to storytelling across video, social, podcast, and digital media.
