Government Communications
From 2017-2020, I worked as the Director of Community Engagement for the City Council of Birmingham, Alabama, coordinating with my team of colleagues to serve the offices of nine City Councilors simultaneously. Our team engaged with the public through numerous communication methods about a wide range of topics – touching on nearly every aspect of life for the citizens of Birmingham. I wrote scripts, did voice-over work, appeared on camera, and recorded and edited hundreds of educational videos. In addition to creating content for social media posts, I wrote press releases, newsletters, and long-form articles explaining complex issues that the city government’s many departments were considering.
Non profit communications
In addition to creating fundraising events for dozens of non-profits, my work history also includes developing strategic communications for organizations, as well as writing copy for social media, email, and direct mail campaigns.
Magazine column
From 2018-2020, I wrote a monthly column for B-Metro Magazine called "Bham to the Max", addressing local issues and highlighting individuals and organizations doing important work throughout the Birmingham Metropolitan Area.
