What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and innovation, where I can leverage my digital communication skills to drive engagement and growth.

As a passionate Digital Communications Specialist, I bring over a decade of experience in media production, voiceover, podcasting, and educational content development. My journey has been marked by a proven track record of growing audiences and executing effective brand strategies across multiple platforms. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s in Library Media & Information Technology, which allows me to integrate my expertise in digital literacy and curation into my work.

In my role as a Digital Content Creator and YouTube Producer, I successfully grew my channel from 100 to over 6,700 subscribers in just six months through strategic content planning and SEO optimization. My experience as a Podcast Host and Digital Marketing Manager further honed my skills in audience engagement, where I managed to increase our Instagram following significantly and produced content that resonated with our listeners. I have also worked as a Voiceover Artist, providing professional narration for notable clients, showcasing my versatility in the digital communications landscape.
