I collaborate closely with hosts, producers, and communications teams to shape editorial direction and create accessible, audience-centered content.I studied international affairs (Georgetown University) and fine arts and performance (MFA, Columbia University), NGO marketing and arts education. My diverse experiences inform how I approach storytelling and strategy.I’m particularly interested in work that sits at the intersection of media, culture and policy, and I’m open to remote and international freelance opportunities in communications, media production, and content strategy.
