What I'm looking for

I seek purpose-driven communications roles where I can lead digital engagement, craft advocacy campaigns, mentor youth voices, and use data to drive measurable impact.

I am a detail-oriented development communications professional with 5+ years' experience in global health, gender, and policy settings, skilled in multi-channel content, digital campaigns, and data-driven strategy. I have led communications strategies, delivered measurable audience growth, managed large-scale events and webinars, and overseen website redesigns to improve accessibility and engagement.

I collaborate across coalitions and multicultural teams, coaching youth leaders and building stakeholder partnerships to amplify frontline voices. I bring hands-on experience with WordPress, Mailchimp, Google Analytics, Canva, Adobe Creative Suite and Hootsuite, and I am eager to grow within a purpose-driven team where communications can shift systems and elevate impact.
