What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my communication skills in a dynamic environment, fostering creativity and collaboration while contributing to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated communications professional with extensive experience in social media management, digital storytelling, and search engine optimization. My background includes coordinating outreach activities for the African American Chamber of Commerce NJ, where I successfully supported various educational events and managed social media communications. I pride myself on my excellent copywriting and communication skills, which have been instrumental in building relationships with stakeholders and enhancing community engagement.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have honed my organizational and multitasking abilities. As the Owner and Head Instructor at Budo Kin Kai Karate and Fitness, I not only instruct classes but also oversee all aspects of business operations, including marketing and website management. My experience as a Communications Coordinator at Rutgers University further solidified my skills in content creation and social media strategy, where I managed multiple platforms and produced engaging content that resonated with diverse audiences.
