After beginning my career as a reporter for local news, leaving the newsroom was a challenging

decision. However, when I spent time interviewing people throughout the pandemic, I felt

compelled to return to community building. As a media specialist with a demonstrated history of

working with grassroots political campaigns, I have a unique understanding of how to

communicate with and mobilize people for a common purpose.

​

   I take pride in seizing volunteer opportunities and being a resource to my community, serving

others by feeding the homeless, mentoring young children, and registering some of the most

vulnerable communities to vote. Fortunately, the digital media skills I learned in the newsroom

proved vital in enhancing the overall visibility of various political organizations that I have since

worked with.

  I'm extremely grateful for every opportunity to use my research capabilities, aptitude for community engagement and communications to positively impact people's lives.
