What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role that allows me to leverage my PR skills while fostering creativity and collaboration in a supportive environment.

As a Public Relations and Marketing Specialist with over three years of experience, I have successfully managed digital marketing client accounts for both publishers and developers. My expertise lies in securing high unique visitor traffic through innovative email, media, and influencer programs. I pride myself on my ability to collaborate with large-scale influencers and maintain strong relationships with journalists and content creators, which drives organic coverage and enhances brand visibility.

During my tenure as a PR Account Coordinator at Stride PR, I managed multiple client accounts, including notable names like Dinosaur Polo Club and tinyBuild. My efforts resulted in successful campaigns for popular games such as Mini Motorways and The Electric State: Kid Cosmo, securing between 50k to 5M unique visitors for announcements. I have developed and maintained relationships with over 9,000 journalists and content creators, leading to more than 300 pieces of organic coverage for product announcements.

In addition to my professional experience, I created the podcast/article series 'Constant Creator,' where I interviewed renowned theater actors about their journeys in the industry, particularly through the pandemic. This project not only honed my storytelling skills but also garnered significant engagement across platforms, with over 1500 views/listens. I graduated Cum Laude with High Honors in Sociology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, completing my degree in just three years through an accelerated program.
