What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead social, content, marketing, or creative work where I can build audiences, shape brand voice, produce compelling visual stories, and drive measurable growth.

I’ve grown social audiences, email lists, and sales for wellness brands, startups, and media ventures through strategy and hands-on text, photo, and video content.

At Tribalist, I independently launched and grew social and email audiences that served as proof of concept for $2 million in VC funding. For a wellness professional, I grew TikTok from 200 to more than 10.5k followers in one month, while managing content across Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, and newsletters.

I also founded Divvy Magazine, building its WordPress site, editorial voice, SEO audience, partnerships, and social platforms. Alongside marketing, I write, direct, produce, photograph, and edit narrative, documentary, and experimental work shown in 15+ countries.
