What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a digital marketing role where I can lead social media and content creation, drive engagement growth, and collaborate with a supportive team—balancing fast-paced execution with community-focused brand visibility.

I’m a Business of Science graduate focused on digital marketing and social media management, with hands-on experience creating promotional content, capturing event media, and supporting brand growth. I bring strong communication and relationship-building skills, consistently performing well in fast-paced, high-energy environments.

In my roles supporting youth sports and community programs, I increased social media engagement by 25% by directing content strategy and account-focused promotional efforts. I’ve supported programs with 250+ participants, captured 300+ action photos over a three-month period, and contributed to a 30% increase in event involvement through fundraising and community support.

I also thrive as a team leader and coach—planning structured activities, directing programs, and mentoring teammates while keeping strong, positive momentum. I’m passionate about helping brands grow by creating engaging content and building visibility through thoughtful planning, real-time event coverage, and clear coordination.
