About

I am an organized and results-oriented Digital Marketing professional with over two years of experience in Marketing. Currently completing my Bachelor's degree at the University of Waterloo, majoring in Recreation and Sports Business. Having recently completed a co-op as a social media and communications coordinator; I have emerged as a junior writer just beginning to tap into my passion for journalism. I am looking to apply the knowledge I have learned and develop new skills by working in an environment where I am given the opportunity to interact with new people and contribute, and I am eager for any and all opportunities that will allow me to expand my knowledge and grow as a professional.

Social Media and Communications Coordinator

As the Social Media and Communications Coordinator for the University of Waterloo I was responsible for producing a variety of communication materials for social media, events, news releases, and website announcements. I managed the Faculty of Environment's Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and other social media accounts to maintain engagement throughout the term using posters/advertisements for upcoming and related events that I created using software such as Adobe Suite and Canva. A portion of my work term was also dedicated to journalism in which I developed content for the Faculty website including stories about students and researchers.
