What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can create and schedule engaging social and blog content, manage platform engagement, and combine my multimedia journalism and writing background to support meaningful causes and grow audiences.

I’m a social media professional with experience creating and scheduling content across Facebook and Instagram, plus writing and editing blog posts that educate and engage. I’ve supported swim school and educational programming in West Palm Beach and Jensen Beach while keeping content high-quality and timely.

Through roles as a Social Media Blogger/Volunteer and campaign writer, I’ve produced abuse-focused and awareness-driven content. I built engagement by writing posts, following relevant users, thanking followers on Twitter, and strengthening community connection.

I also bring platform and web know-how from my earlier work managing a company’s LinkedIn profile and posting content, plus acting as a webmaster for hire. In addition, I developed creative artwork using Canva and created graphics and blog assets to match each topic and audience.

Grounded in multimedia journalism training, I enjoy researching, interviewing, and turning facts into compelling stories. I’m motivated to use my content creation, editing, and social media marketing strengths to help organizations grow their reach and impact.
