What I'm looking for

I’m looking for work that lets me develop and execute content strategies across channels, translate research and institutional expertise into engaging writing, and use performance data to improve what I publish. I’m comfortable working autonomously in small, remote teams with high agency and minimal supervision, within CET collaboration hours.

At Grazeta, I led content strategy for a feminist digital publication, shaping its presence across LinkedIn, social media, the website, and newsletters. I turned longform investigations and research into platform-native posts and Canva graphics, and grew audience engagement by joining relevant conversations and amplifying important work.

At Compass Institute, I developed content strategies for research and advocacy, tailoring writing to different audiences and channels. I tracked engagement and used performance data to decide what to continue, adjust, or drop.

At Specialist Chambers Defense Counsel Office, I translated complex, sensitive institutional content into clear written outputs for diverse audiences. Across my work, I’ve made research and institutional expertise accessible through editorial content, newsletters, and policy communications.
