What I'm looking for
I am an imaginative, ambitious digital marketing specialist with over 14 years' experience in marketing, nonprofit fundraising, social media, photography and event management. I bring a visual-first approach to storytelling and brand strategy, evidenced by campaigns that increased donor engagement 58% and doubled social followers to an organic reach of over 1.2 million.
I've led multi-channel campaigns, managed content across 17 social accounts and six websites, produced award-recognized photography featured by BBC Earth and Tourism Ireland, and launched community programs including a SNAP initiative.
