What I'm looking for

I seek a communications role focused on digital storytelling, multicultural engagement, collaborative workflows, and opportunities to scale impact in inclusive organizations.

I am a strategic communications specialist with 8+ years creating digital-first written and visual content, community engagement initiatives, and multicultural communications across education, corporate, and nonprofit contexts.

I have led multilingual storytelling campaigns, coordinated cross-functional publishing workflows, and developed print and digital educational assets for distributed and asynchronous teams. My work includes advocacy, DEI communications, newsletters, blogs, and knowledge-base management that improved information flow and audience engagement.

I co-founded community initiatives, facilitated culturally diverse groups, and supported program delivery through standardized documentation and content pipelines. I bring strong editorial workflow skills, inclusive communication practices, and experience working with global stakeholder audiences.
