What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to lead impactful campaigns, foster community engagement, and work collaboratively with diverse teams to drive social change.

I am an experienced campaign director and program manager with over 8 years of expertise in community organizing and strategic campaign leadership. My passion lies in mobilizing large teams and developing impactful digital campaigns that foster grassroots partnerships to drive social change. I have a proven ability to lead cross-functional teams, optimize digital platforms for campaign growth, and cultivate long-term member engagement.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed and supported member-led digital campaigns, trained volunteers, and enhanced user engagement through strategic content creation. My educational background includes an Accelerated Online Masters in Public Affairs and certifications in International Human Rights Law, which have equipped me with the necessary skills to navigate complex social issues and advocate effectively for community needs.

As I continue to grow in my career, I am committed to leveraging my skills in strategic planning, partnership building, and digital organizing to create meaningful impact. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can mentor others and contribute to initiatives that empower communities.
