A Digital Media Professional, Organizer and Storyteller.
CV
Professional Summary
My professional odyssey has equipped me with a toolbox of skills: from drafting policy-focused press releases for congressional campaigns to reviewing state grant applications, from organizing menstrual equity supply drives & abortion weeks-of-action to synthesizing complex AI advancements into accessible reports.
As a strategist and storyteller, I have not only managed social media content to build a robust volunteer base but also acted as a communications conduit for innovative social change organizations. My academic rigor is matched by hands-on experience in crafting narratives that resonate with diverse audiences and champion a cause — alongside a steadfast commitment to ethics and hard truths.
In a fast-paced digital ecosystem and a world clamoring for clarity, I offer a unique blend of political savvy, technological acumen, campaign & project management expertise, and journalistic practice & integrity.
