What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities in mission-driven organizations that value storytelling and strategic communication.

I am a detail-oriented and creative MFA graduate with a strong background in grant writing, nonprofit event coordination, and audio editing. My experience includes supporting communication initiatives in both academic and nonprofit settings, where I have honed my ability to research, write, and develop compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences.

As a Graduate Professional Assistant at the Alan Cheuse International Writers Center, I have played a key role in planning and executing literary events, while also contributing to grant writing and donor outreach efforts. My work on initiatives like the Baldwin100 project and events featuring renowned authors has allowed me to blend my passion for storytelling with strategic communication skills, ultimately aiming to support mission-driven organizations.
