About Bella Burns

With a background in Communication Studies and a drive for social impact, I want to build a career at the intersection of media, community, and advocacy. I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Communication Leadership at the University of Washington, I specialize in Digital Media with coursework in crisis communication, qualitative research in social media marketing, and social media branding. My experience spans public relations, editorial strategy, and digital storytelling. I’ve supported press campaigns at Sub Pop Records, collaborated with local artists as co-editor of a Seattle-based art zine, and now manage digital content and social media strategy at Lake & Company Real Estate. Alongside my professional work, I served as a social media strategist for Stop Sexual Assault in Schools (SSAIS), leading a digital advocacy campaign, to combat misogyny and create safer, more inclusive learning environments. I’m passionate about using communication as a tool for equity; connecting people, amplifying voices, and creating content that drives meaningful social change.
