What I'm looking for

I seek a community-focused role combining events and marketing where I can manage logistics, create digital content, grow engagement, and support fundraising within a collaborative team.

I am an events and marketing professional with hands-on experience organizing large-scale community events, managing budgets, securing funding, and leading volunteers and small teams. I create digital content, maintain websites, run social campaigns, and design marketing materials to increase engagement and support fundraising goals.

I have successfully run multi-event campaigns (including a Go By Bike Week with 10,000+ participants), helped raise over $100k cash and $20k in-kind, supervised staff and volunteers, and produced reports for funders. I prioritize community-building, clear communication, and reliable execution to deliver impactful events and strong online presence.
