What I'm looking for

I seek roles that combine strategic communications, policy engagement, and digital campaign leadership in mission-driven organizations with collaborative teams and opportunities for global impact.

I am a communications strategist with dual master’s degrees in Government, Diplomacy and Conflict Studies and Social Media Communications, experienced in leading digital campaigns and building brand visibility across nonprofit, policy, and tech sectors.

I have led global initiatives that bridge technology and policy, developed interdisciplinary civic engagement curricula for high schools, and managed B2B social media strategies across platforms including Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

I excel at turning complex ideas into compelling narratives, using SEO, analytics, AI tools, and cross-cultural communication to drive engagement and support organizational strategy.
