Professional Experience:

Development, growth and impact are achieved through collaboration (across sectors and disciplines). My job as the Director of Membership and Development, is to foster cross-border networking and knowledge sharing across a network of stakeholders who share a commitment to a common mission. My biggest blessing is having the opportunity to work closely with a global and diverse network of members and partners from across the globe with different backgrounds and experiences. I firmly believe multi-stakeholder collaboration is essential to a globally connected and sustainable world.

Having dedicated nearly a decade to the growth and sustainability of a small non-profit organization, I am now eager to leverage my skills and experience in a larger organizational setting. My journey with the non- profit allowed me to play a significant role in its development and sustained impact, honing my ability to navigate challenges and contribute to its long-term success. While my time there has been incredibly rewarding, I am now drawn to the dynamic environment of a larger organization, particularly one with a purpose-driven focus. I am excited about the chance to bring my skills, dedication, and strategic mindset to a new and impactful chapter with a new organization.

Education:

Education is a vital component of personal and professional development, serving as a gateway to knowledge, skills, and opportunities. I've completed a Bachelor's degree in Organizational Communications with a focus on Public Relations at Ohio University. This program provided a comprehensive understanding of communication theories, strategies, and practices within organizational contexts, with a specific emphasis on public relations techniques and principles.

After completing my undergraduate studies, I furthered my education by pursuing a Master's degree at Georgetown University in Corporate Communications and Public Relations. At Georgetown University, I engaged in coursework that explored the intricacies of corporate communication, crisis management, reputation management, stakeholder engagement, and strategic communication planning within the context of public relations.

Through my academic journey, I've gained a diverse set of skills and knowledge that are essential for success in the field of communication and public relations. I've developed expertise in crafting compelling messages, managing communication campaigns, building relationships with key stakeholders, and navigating the complexities of corporate communication in various organizational settings. My education has also provided opportunities for hands-on experience, networking with industry professionals, and conducting research in the field.

Overall, the combination of a Bachelor's degree in Organizational Communication from Ohio University and a Master's degree in Corporate Communication and Public Relations from Georgetown University has equipped me with a strong educational foundation to excel in the dynamic and competitive field of communication and public relations. By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical skills and real-world experience, I am well-prepared to contribute effectively to organizations, drive strategic communication initiatives, and make a positive impact in the ever-evolving landscape of corporate communication and public relations.
