I am passionate about human services and enjoy implementing meaningful communication plans. Utilizing media relations and content creation is invaluable to improving event and online engagement. Managing 20 staff and coordinating large events for up to 500 residents involves calendar management as well as data reporting and budget supervision. Having a background in project management means I am an effective multi tasker and team leader.
