What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead communications and content strategy, build engaged communities, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive measurable audience and brand growth.

I am a dynamic communications and content professional with experience leading communications, community engagement, and editorial teams. I combine data-driven marketing, creative storytelling, and project coordination to grow audiences and elevate brand visibility across social and editorial channels.

As Head of Communications and Community Engagement at The Living History Project, I led multi-platform campaigns, designed marketing collateral, and grew social following substantially (Instagram +23%, Facebook +32%, LinkedIn +92%), while coordinating events and partnership initiatives.

I bring certified training in Agile, digital storytelling, and marketing, plus hands-on experience in talent relations, voiceover narration, creative direction, and content production. I thrive on building narratives that deepen cultural connection and drive measurable engagement.
