A Bit About Me
With over 7 years of experience supporting Fortune 100 companies, I have gained expertise in communications, data analytics, and marketing. My primary areas of expertise include building relationships, developing communication strategies, summarizing complex ideas, data visualization, creative problem-solving, storytelling, and consulting. Throughout my career, I have achieved notable milestones, such as developing a communication strategy from scratch for an engineering team at Meta and successfully managing my own clients while delivering project objectives. I have worked in various industries, including marketing, data analytics, and auditing, with well-known organizations like Disney and Meta. My educational background includes a Bachelor's degree in Theatre Studies, with minors in marketing and mass communication. Currently, I am pursuing a Master's degree in Information Design and Strategy, specializing in User Experience from Northwestern University.
When it comes to problem-solving, I approach it with creative brainstorming and a careful balance of deadlines, priorities, and task completion. I am proficient in software tools like Canva, Tableau, Microsoft products, and Figma, which further enhance my skill set. Collaboration with cross-functional teams and project management are areas where I have gained valuable experience, acting as the main point of contact across multiple teams. I have had the opportunity to work with high-profile brands such as Disney and Meta. What sets me apart is my thought leadership, creative problem-solving abilities, empathetic feedback-giving skills, and the diverse experience I bring from corporate and operational roles.
