What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead social media and communications strategy—creating consistent content, improving engagement with analytics, and using storytelling to grow awareness, community interaction, and audience growth.

I’m a results-driven Social Media & Communications Specialist with a Master of Arts in Communications. I boost brand awareness and audience growth through strategic messaging, consistent multi-platform content, and performance-focused optimization.

In recent roles, I designed and executed social media strategies that drove 20%+ awareness and audience growth, supported 15% improvements in interaction and visibility, and built email campaigns to keep clients informed. I’m hands-on with content creation, scheduling, and analytics using Meta Business Suite, Buffer, and Canva—pairing storytelling and research with clear, measurable reporting to strengthen community engagement.
