Communicator. World Traveler. Content Strategist.
I am a communications specialist focused on innovation and advocacy. Storytelling and a love for humanity drive my work.
Dedicated to learning and embracing opportunity
Frequent moves during my childhood ignited my curious passion and drive to explore. I have studied, worked, and lived abroad for several years. After completing two graduate degrees in Rome, Italy, I have consulted with the United Nations and international organizations.
I am continuously exploring the humanitarian, sustainability and digital worlds. I value developing diverse skill sets that serve a larger purpose.
People are at the core of all of my work. I want good in the world, and I will seek it. Myers-Briggs tells me I am an INFJ. I analyze, feel, and act.
Photography
I have been taking photographs since I was 14 years old. I started making it a career during my university years and worked for the University of Arkansas as a published yearbook photographer. I have also worked as a contract photographer with Bella Baby Photography. I now work independently in travel journalism, portraits, and events. I want my photographs to capture the intricate beauty in reality.
Communications
I have held various positions with an emphasis on communications throughout my secondary education up until now, having over 8 years of professional experience. I value productive dialogue, creative solutions, transparency, and engaging brands. I have worked on campaigns, articles, blogs, and social media accounts. I have experience with content creation, video editing, and graphic design using Canva and Adobe Creative Suite. I have also led website migrations and redesigns, offering both strategic guidance and technical support. Communication and identity are in the details.
Research and Writing
My work spans from social media and websites to research and policy briefs. My educational background required a substantial amount of writing and research. I completed several qualitative research projects. I have written pieces on democratic governance, artificial intelligence, and the rise of social media advocacy. I have also worked as a research consultant for the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, focusing on migration and agricultural value chains. Aside from academic research, I have experience with blog and web content writing. An international mindset and critical thinking are reflected in my authorship style. I focus on the important, digestible messages of each piece, while informing key audiences.
