Digital Marketer in Los Angeles, California

First off, you should know I have a deep passion for community engagement. What I really enjoy about it, is being able to not only meet so many new people, but knowing that if you have a sense of how to connect various peers or opportunities to others, that one moment can lead to so many things. All it takes is that first interaction for something to begin growing. This passion stems from my early exposure to organizing around social justice issues and electoral participation.

Since then, I have applied those community organizing experiences to life in general. From interning with a talk radio show, which showed me the importance of keeping a community informed. To my time working on various city council, senate, and congressional campaigns. Those opportunities were especially helpful, as I went through General Assembly's Digital Marketing program. It basically provided me with the tool set to translate my previous organizing background to the data driven world, we call the internet.

Recently moved to Los Angeles to work alongside a mentor and handle my own clients. Learning that I love to help others reach out to their respectful communities, figure out the processes needed to scale, and over all, get their media presence organized and set.

I'm always interested in hearing how others are activating their own community around particular causes or whatever it may be that they care about. If you’re looking to collaborate or just want to share experiences with each other, let’s connect!
