As a creative writer, I have managed a poetry site and Instagram account for years. Recently, two original poems of mine were published in literary magazines. I also have a Wordpress blog and worked for two years as a freelance writer for a variety of organizations including Captivate Talent, Mental Health Affairs, WordAgents, DennyWrites, and Cubo Ai amongst others. Upon graduating, I worked as an intern on the Communications team at Active Minds, Inc. where I wrote blog pieces, created social content, and engaged in social outreach amongst more. Furthermore, I worked with Active Minds, Inc. as a Tour Coordinator for their award-winning suicide prevention display, Send Silence Packing. Currently, I am working as the PR Coordinator for The Jed Foundation (JED) which works to protect the emotional health of teens and young adults and prevent suicide.
