What I'm looking for
I am a strategic and creative communications professional with a global perspective and a passion for digital storytelling.

My previous position as Social Media Editor at Hope Magazine saw me lead social media strategy development, achieving a remarkable increase in audience growth and engagement. I have a track record of utilizing analytics for targeted ad campaigns and mentoring interns in social media and graphic design.
Throughout my career, I have consistently delivered cross-platform communications strategies that support advocacy campaigns and contribute to legislative wins.
