About

With over a decade of experience in communications, social media, and digital marketing, I specialize in crafting compelling narratives that engage audiences and elevate brand reputation. I have worked across B2B, B2C, and publishing, developing expertise in strategic communications, social media, content creation, and public relations. I excel in storytelling and audience engagement across digital media, including social media, video, copywriting, and design. With extensive experience collaborating with public relations teams, I have developed a keen ability to craft compelling narratives and translate complex topics into engaging, accessible content for both broad audiences and the media. A passionate learner, I continuously expand my skill set and thrive in fast-paced environments where adaptability and creativity are key. I hold a Diploma in Digital Marketing from Red Academy and a Bachelor of Arts from Simon Fraser University.
