What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role in media or education where I can coordinate production, support writers/producers, and drive organized content workflows.

I am a highly organized Content & Production Coordinator with extensive experience supporting creative, administrative, and production workflows across media, education, and corporate environments.

I coordinate schedules, manage documentation, support writers and producers, and contribute to content development initiatives while maintaining professional discretion and attention to detail.

My background spans administration, creative writing, recruiting, and drama education, which gives me a unique blend of storytelling, organization, and collaborative leadership.

I am passionate about media and education, adept at maintaining creative momentum, and committed to delivering work aligned with global entertainment and production standards.
