Communications Portfolio
My content strategy is designed as a narrative. I weave videos, graphics, articles, and interactive pieces together into a larger narrative, and the pieces act as entry points targetting different kinds of users.

Communications Strategy
As a storyteller who understands transmedia principles, I know how stories can be shaped for different platforms, genres, and places. Using tools like empathy research, user profiles, journey mapping and co-creation sessions, I make persuasive material that goes beyond conveying information, and invites stakeholders to participate in an organization's stories.
Video & Event Coverage
Event highlight reels and student research spotlights produced for SPA's outreach campaigns. Shot on an iPhone 14 Pro with a gimbal stabilizer and edited on Adobe Premiere pro with branded motion graphics for multi-platform distribution from YouTube to social media shorts. Low budget, intentional framing.

About
I'm a communication strategist and multimedia designer working at the intersection of story, research, and emerging media. Currently pursuing an MA in Emerging Media Design and Development at Ball State University, I develop outreach and communication strategy for Sponsored Projects Administration while building interactive narratives, visual novels, and transmedia experiences. My background in fiction writing and narrative design shapes how I approach every medium. I bring skills across platforms and formats to meet audiences where they are.
