What I'm looking for

I seek a communications role where I can grow audience engagement, secure partnerships, manage content and events, and contribute to a collaborative, impact-driven team.

I am a communications graduate (Magna Cum Laude) with hands-on experience driving social media strategy, sponsorship acquisition, and event production across nonprofit and media organizations. I have increased audience engagement, secured multiple sponsorships and partnerships, and coordinated large virtual and in-person events.

My background includes producing and promoting short films, leading creative marketing initiatives, and streamlining administrative systems to improve operational efficiency. I bring strong writing, hosting, and stakeholder-management skills and thrive in collaborative environments focused on impact and audience growth.
