About Me
I am a social media strategist and content creator specializing in nonprofits and charities. My work combines digital storytelling, community engagement, and impact-driven communication to help organizations inspire action, grow their communities, and achieve their mission.
💡 Why this matters to me:
When I was bullied in school, my mother stood up for me, and that moment shaped my belief in the power of support. Today, working with nonprofits is how I stand up for others: by giving their causes the visibility, voice, and strategy they need to thrive.🛠️ How I support nonprofits:
- Social media management & content creation
- Digital strategy & campaign planning
- Training & capacity building for activists and teams
- Community engagement & facilitation (online groups, supporter communities)
- Tools & resources: caption banks, content calendars, blog storytelling
With experience across environmental, youth-led, and humanitarian organizations, I bring empathy, creativity, and strategy together to manage platforms, engage audiences, and build movements online. I create strategies and content that don’t just “fill feeds” — they shift mindsets, spark engagement, and mobilize communities. From hands-on content creation to co-leading organizational strategy, I bring both creative execution and big-picture thinking to every project.
