I am a young professional with a heart for service in social justice and
background in nonprofit communications, outreach, and program
development. I have more than 5 years of experience developing agency
messaging, online presence, and identifying creative tools to educate
others on difficult subjects related to social systems and social justice. I
have ample experience in a management role, mediation, event planning,
volunteer recruitment & management, program evaluation, learning new
software or databases, as well as equally offering support and leadership
to a team. Great at taking and giving feedback, improving and learning
new skills, and taking initiative. I am particularly adept at thinking
critically in conflicts while still responding diplomatically, as well as careful
attention to language and messaging about sensitive topics.
