## About

```text
At SR Branding, I provide organizations with sustainable branding and communication strategy as a Brand Strategist and Consultant.

At Hiawatha Academies, I led communications and marketing strategy for key organizational initiatives. I implemented a district-wide trilingual school-to-home communication strategy that resulted in a 95% conversion rate.

I also developed a marketing strategy geared toward Latino and Somali populations across the Twin Cities Metro area, meeting recruitment goals. During the organization’s restructuring, I developed its branding strategy and managed school-site subteams working on communication practices.

Earlier, I founded the communication department at Transcend IT and implemented systems for learning management, email marketing, website management, and social media. At the University of Minnesota Twin Cities/International Student and Scholar Services, I coordinated programming including the inaugural Fulbright Reception.
