Professional Experience
I am a very passionate digital marketer, event planner and trained journalist. For the past year I worked as a content editor at iProspect (a global digital performance agency) and led a team of specialized technology writers. I dealt with project coordination, developed marketing content strategies to drive business objectives across travel, finance, pharmaceutical verticals, and worked under tight deadlines to create vibrant and creative emails, articles, infographics, and blogs.
I'm the recipient of a master’s degree in Journalism from Harvard Extension School, and have previously earned a Bachelor’s degree in American Culture and Literature from UCLA. Most recently, I've received a publishing certificate from Boston University. I'm currently the Boston host for the media outlet Mediabistro and Tech Cocktail. I'm ready to embark upon a new challenge and ready to work at a moment's notice.
