About
With a Bachelor's degree in Journalism from the University of Maryland, I have cultivated a diverse career in media and technology. My journey began with an internship at Montgomery Community Television, where I honed my skills in SEO optimization and social media promotion. I then served as an Audience Engagement Editor at Capital News Service, launching a successful COVID-19 vaccine dashboard. At Newsflare, I excelled as a Licensing Partner, contributing to the platform's dominance in user-generated video content. Currently, I hold dual roles as a Builder at Stealth Startup and Head of Growth at Groundline, where I focus on innovative solutions and strategies to drive growth and user engagement. My background in journalism and film studies, combined with my experience in content creation and strategic growth, positions me uniquely at the intersection of media and technology.
