Digital Media Strategist with 10+ years of experience helping brands, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations grow through strategic content, social media marketing, and digital storytelling. I combine strategy with hands-on execution, managing the entire content lifecycle from audience research and messaging to creative production, publishing, optimization, and performance analysis. I specialize in content strategy, social media management, copywriting, brand storytelling, photography, videography, short-form video, UGC, community engagement, and campaign optimization. I also have advanced AI prompting skills and regularly incorporate tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI-assisted creative platforms into my workflow for research, ideation, copywriting, creative development, and content production, allowing me to work more efficiently while maintaining a high standard of creativity and quality. I've partnered with more than 50 clients, including Walmart, Sam's Club, State Farm, Old Navy, Crayola, and New Balance, helping organizations create engaging, research-driven content that strengthens brand visibility, increases audience engagement, and delivers measurable results. I'm experienced creating content across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, websites, and email marketing using Adobe Premiere Pro, CapCut, Photoshop, Lightroom, Canva, Final Cut Pro, Google Analytics, and other industry-leading creative and marketing tools. In addition to client work, I'm a Commercial Photographer and Content Producer with Stocksy United, producing commercially licensed photography and video for global brands, publishers, and media companies. This experience has strengthened my ability to create authentic, high-quality visual content that aligns with premium brand standards and performs across digital platforms. I'm currently completing my Master of Science in Digital Media Management at the University of Southern California (USC), where I've expanded my expertise in digital strategy, analytics, emerging media, AI-powered marketing, and data-informed decision-making. Whether you need a digital media strategist, social media marketing expert, content strategist, or creative producer, I bring both strategic thinking and hands-on execution to create content that connects with audiences and drives measurable business results.
