What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my communication skills in a collaborative environment focused on community engagement and social justice.

I am a dedicated communications specialist with a strong background in community organizing and public relations. Currently, I work with SEIU Healthcare PA, where I collaborate with various teams to create impactful communications materials that amplify the voices of healthcare workers in Pennsylvania. My role involves planning press events, writing speeches, and developing training activities, all aimed at enhancing organizational capacity and member engagement.

Prior to this, I served as a Local Organizer for Lancaster Stands Up, where I coordinated volunteer efforts and organized community events to raise awareness on critical issues. My experience also includes leading initiatives as a Lead Organizer for Northern End Stands Up, where I honed my skills in public speaking, volunteer recruitment, and strategic communication. I am passionate about using my skills to foster community engagement and drive social change.
