Work that matters

The story I’m
most proud of.

Creative work can do more than capture attention. It can bring a community together around something bigger.

I contributed across live broadcasting, audio production, promotional design, social media, fundraising strategy, patient and family interviews, and event coordination. I’m also the first voice heard in the recap.

“The work I’m most proud of wasn’t simply about growing an audience. It was about using that audience to help children and families.”
