What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values creativity and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a communications professional with a strong foundation in language and communication, honed through diverse roles in marketing, writing, and editing. My experience as the Communications Manager for the Montford Moppets Youth Shakespeare Company allowed me to develop and execute promotional strategies that significantly expanded the organization's reach and engagement. I successfully secured over $12,000 in grant funding, which contributed to our financial growth and program expansion.

In addition to my managerial role, I have worked as a freelance writer for Photojojo.com, where I crafted articles that resonated with a creative audience, and served as a copy editor at the Columbia Daily Tribune, ensuring clarity and consistency across published materials. My expertise in storytelling and content strategy is backed by a Bachelor of Arts in English from Western Carolina University, equipping me with the skills to engage audiences effectively and drive impactful communication.
