I’m a communications professional interested in telling stories that keep audiences engaged by conveying complex, nuanced truths in simple ways. I've written for travel companies, arts and culture magazines, and airline magazines. I was a full-time member of a newly hatched communications team at Safari Doctors, an award-winning grassroots organization in Kenya. With no allocated budget, my supervisor and I rebranded the organization, solidifying an effective visual identity and voice. Before that, in Toronto, I worked on the PR strategy for a fashion-art exhibit launched as a fashion show at the Royal Ontario Museum and installed at the Harbourfront Centre, as well as on the creative director's installation at Come Up To My Room at the Gladstone Hotel, Toronto's largest alternative design event.
Produced for Safari Doctors
A medical emergency in rural Kenya was solved by a participant in Safari Doctors' youth program. I was expected to track down and interview the patient, call the participant, and put together a piece for our donors.
Produced for Safari Doctors
Safari Doctors' partner airline, Air Kenya, featured us in their in-flight magazine, Ndege News. I wrote a piece outlining the work that we do in one of their destinations, Lamu.
I wrote a personal reflection piece on home for ConversationX.com, an arts and culture publication founded by a Yale PhD student and organizer of Yale's Africa Salon.
