community engagement

Relationship Development / Client Success / Cross-Functional Partnerships / Community & Stakeholder Partnerships / Training & Onboarding

It’s a priority for me to build collaborative partnerships as resourceful initiatives emerge when strong connections are made. Methods of community engagement across all work experiences have included pop-up workshops, organizing social events (e.g., hosting a book club), facilitating live career development career strategy sessions and incorporating digital storytelling into marketing materials to further connect with constituents in the community.

digital storytelling

Brand Storytelling / Content Management / Writing Copy / Marketing Strategy / Photo + Video

With seasoned experience in client outreach and programming, I’m consistently blending creative skills in marketing + photography services, community engagement efforts, brand development, social media marketing all as nuanced methods of community and stakeholder buy-in. This creative work strategically supports organizations with strengthening engagement interactions from stakeholders, clients and constituents. I explore how to engage the broader community through copywriting, storytelling and content creation.

project management

Organization / Strategy / Planning / Event Production / Project Execution

Project management is a thread that carries across my professional experiences. Project plans I’ve driven forward recently include: client outreach initiatives, community engagement programs, partnership initiation across several internal teams / departments and managing multiple client success goal deadlines. Using tools like Salesforce and G-Suites, I am skilled in staying organized and communicating effectively across teams while delivering multi-deadline initiatives.
