FREELANCE WORK

MENTAL-HEALTH-ADVICE.TUMBLR.COM

WORLD-WIDE MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCACY COMMUNITY

After using MHA as a resource when I was a teen, I knew I wanted to pave it forward. It started with me simply answering questions and offering advice on mental health issues. But within a year I moved over to manage their social media platforms. Responsible for building, developing, and driving strategy across channels, campaigns, and audiences. As well as planning and executing digital campaigns that empower our diverse, international audience. On MHA’s Instagram, each year engagement increased by 85%, and followers increased by 35%.

PAST PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE EXPERIENCE

INSPIRITUS (FORMERLY LUTHERN SERVICES OF GA)

REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT AGENCY – ATLANTA, GA

I supported 10+ refugees every week to support their transition of moving to Atlanta. Despite multiple barriers, such as language, I interviewed and wrote resumes for clients. Translating their past work experience in their home countries, as to better assist them in gaining employment in the US.
My last semester, I challenged myself by working in a non-creative role within a refugee resettlement agency. At Inspiritus I supported 10+ refugees weekly to further develop their new independence. Despite multiple barriers, such as language, I interviewed and wrote resumes for clients. And also practiced job interview etiquette, discussed their academic goals, and more!

THE STORMY PETREL

OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY’S STUDENT NEWSPAPER

After writing articles for a while, I decided to take on the role of Social Media Manager. Immediately an issue came up regarding the newspaper’s ability to publish articles digitally. I thought of a resolution, which allowed us to publish articles and reach a wider audience. I created a WordPress site from scratch, and this resulted in renewed and active engagement on our Facebook page. The page maintained an increased weekly growth of 15%, and a 70% increase in likes/fans.

PEGASUS CREATIVE

STUDENT-RUN MARKETING AGENCY

Pegasus Creative provided hands-on experience in public relations, advertising, social media management, copywriting, and more! I developed and implemented innovative marketing strategies and content. Drafting, editing, and publishing daily content for both Oglethorpe University and Oglethorpe Museum of Art Twitter accounts.
