What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can support creative storytelling and high-quality content—from strategy and production to feedback and iteration—using technology, collaboration, and a student-first mindset that drives real audience engagement.

I teach digital media, publication production, communication, and personal development, focused on storytelling, personal branding, and content creation. I integrate technology and project-based learning to create interactive, diverse classroom experiences where students strengthen critical thinking and idea development.

I assess student work and provide feedback to improve content quality, clarity, and audience impact. I also cultivate strong partnerships with parents through proactive communication and monthly school newsletters.

Alongside instruction, I directed end-to-end yearbook production—owning editorial planning, visual design, and audience-focused strategy to deliver a polished publication. With a transition into social media and marketing, I bring content strategy, communication, and project management to every campaign and production.
