@karenphillips
English educator and AI-enhanced learning specialist transforming digital storytelling for engagement.
ItalyWhat I'm looking for
am a senior content creator, travel writer, and multimedia producer with over 15 years of experience building digital media ecosystems from the ground up. As the founder of Andiamotrips, I specialize in translating complex, deep-rooted regional culture—specifically the world-class food, wine, and landscapes of Southern Italy—into highly engaging digital content that drives audience growth.
My background seamlessly blends strategic storytelling with multi-platform digital publishing. I am a trained sommelier, the creator and editor of the Andiamotrips: The Next Stop digital magazine series, the author of the published travel book Vineyard Hopping Campania, and the director/producer of In the Kitchen Campania, a documentary video series showcasing top-tier culinary talent. Over the last decade and a half, I have personally vetted over 60 wineries, reviewed more than 100 restaurants, and developed extensive digital travel guides and itineraries for an international audience.
What I bring to remote teams:
End-to-End Content Production: Heavy experience in digital magazine publishing, copywriting, travel journalism, photography, and video production.
Niche Authority: Deep, certified expertise in the Italian wine, food, and tourism sectors.
Educational & Curatorial Design: A proven track record of creating digital educational assets, hosting cultural events, and structuring custom itineraries.
I am looking for freelance, contract, or B2B remote projects where I can leverage my editorial, visual media, and cultural consulting skills to help global brands tell authentic stories.
