What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a communications, operations, or production role where I can coordinate people, logistics, and creative work while supporting a mission-driven organization.

In my most recent role, I managed external school communications, front desk operations, attendance, and day-to-day needs for students, faculty, visitors, and parents at an independent school in New York City.

My background spans from the service industry to media and live production, including podcast production for Radiant Minds: The World of Oliver Sacks and Off-Broadway productions such as Alex Edelman: Just For Us. I have provided productions with everything from live assistance at each show to production notes and feedback.

I have been lucky enough to use and grow my skills at mission-based organizations, from coordinating on-the-ground operations for the Meals on Wheels office in Orange County, NC, to designing social media graphics and materials for EMILY’s List candidates.
