I love creating vibrant multimedia content and experiences to elevate a company’s presence in the world.

I have a proclivity for producing powerful and interactive content and thrives off of creating experiences that fuel people with inspiration. I offer a unique blend of skills from my background in marketing, events, and audio/video production. I bring a special awareness of meaning, implication, and cultural relevance to all of my work.
I entered the digital marketing field on my own merit by proving my ability as a self-starter with independently organized projects, such as the creative media and events collective I founded in 2017, Nightworks. In 2019 alone I successfully organized and marketed over 30 events that all required video, photo, audio, social media and email marketing. Most recently I was responsible for designing and executing marketing campaigns, and organizing virtual events and workshops for HubWeek/Manifest Boston under the Boston Globe.
Before that, I worked on the Development Team at ZUMIX, curating and organizing events, marketing campaigns and more to engage the community and cultivate donors. My work directly supported ZUMIX’s two biggest fundraising events in its 28-year history, as well as dozens of other community-centric concert events and conferences.
Most recently, I’ve been the Director of Communications and Marketing for Israel Policy Forum, an organization founded during the 1993 Israeli-Palestinian peace process that supports a secure, Jewish, democratic Israel via a negotiated two-state outcome to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with lasting peace and prosperity for both peoples. During my time at the organization, I have led communications and marketing efforts that have increased our content engagement across channels, expanded our reach, and enhanced our branding.
My analytical and creative thinking balance position me to build comprehensive marketing plans to take businesses to the next level in their brand identity, digital footprint, and audience engagement. I am constantly improving and expanding my skill set. Each project provides a new opportunity to build upon my digital content and experiential marketing strategies.
