I worked for The Bohle Company on the Serious Play Conference.

I also designed graphics and posted content on the conference's social media accounts.

I served as a Public Relations Intern at Theory of Games, an independent game studio working on its first project: a narrative strategy game about what the world will be like after a climate crisis. As the studio's PR Intern, I built media lists of journalists writing about climate change, video games, and their intersection.

As one of two Executive Producers for American Television Club's short-form infotainment show, College Nation, my colleague and I trained new members to use video, audio, and lighting equipment; planned and scheduled video shoots; and recruited and managed on-camera talent. During video shoots, I directed on-set photography, either advising other students on when and what to photograph or taking photos myself. I also managed the show's social media and scheduled video launches.Prior to becoming an Executive Producer, I was the show's Social Media Director from August through December 2018. In that role, I led a three-person team to plan, create, and post social media content on Facebook and Instagram at an average of three posts per week. That fall, our show's AU ASMR video received over 10,000 views, a major feat for a show that only started in late fall 2017.

Through the summer and fall, I worked with Dr. Omekongo Dibinga in the AU Scholars research program to teach "Global Hip-Hop and Resistance" to a group of nineteen students. Over the duration of the course, we discussed hip-hop's history and its intersection with regional cultures, stereotypes, and social movements to better understand its role as a global communication tool.My role in the class was hands-on and all-encompassing. I helped decide the course's projects, answered students' questions, guided students on field trips, and provided in-class support to Dr. Dibinga as needed. My greatest accomplishment was bringing MTV Europe award-winning rapper Sonita Alizadeh into class to talk to students about her experiences using rap music for political advocacy and to escape child marriage.
