PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

I worked on an interactive video series, uploaded materials from the campaign to our social media, and even developed prototypes of a mental health Minecraft world for ages 13-25. I am deeply proud to have contributed in many meaningful ways, including content ideation, creation, project management, stakeholder/internal review processes, write-ups and descriptions, various written internal/external communications, and creative direction.

During my internship with Voice of America, the government’s International Broadcasting Network with a global reach of 276 million people in 100 different countries, 45 million online listeners, 800 radio affiliates, and 500 TV affiliates, I worked on episodes of Border Crossings with the host Larry London. We would have famous musical guests such as Taylor Swift and SZA for interviews related to upcoming releases. I also created my very own episodes, interviewing smaller artists and bands such as Panchiko, and editing it down into a 5-minute radio/video show. Additionally, I created articles and handled social media for the shows, making the TikTok account and finally tapping into the forefront of social media.

During my first year at Carnegie Mellon University as an Entertainment Industry Management master's student, I worked for CMU's Center for Applied Research on Targeted Violence in conjunction with the University of Pittsburgh. I developed many aspects of the new website amid the rebrand from our previous name, "Collaboratory Against Hate." I also wrote 5 articles that were published on our website, managed all social media channels, created social media content for those channels, conducted interviews with local activists, and created graphics for various events and initiatives. You will find much of my work on our website. All articles written after January were written by me, and all linked social media were managed by me and contained my graphic design work.

Here is the full VOA interview I did with Panchiko. I did outreach and fully conducted the interview myself with no assistance. This was cut down into a 5-minute radio spot that was aired live and uploaded to the Border Crossing's Spotify.
I was accepted into a 2-week film and business program via The American Pavilion to attend the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, interning for the festival doing social media and roundtable/panel setup.
