I began working at Ranker - a global pop culture digital media company - because I wanted to combine my passion for entertainment with my media production skills to impact a global audience. I designed engaging social media posts for the Total Nerd vertical - on topics relating to movies, TV, gaming, and pop culture - and generated the highest amount of engagement on my team (and 16% higher than the second-highest equivalent team member). I also developed 5+ articles monthly that generated 9M+ in lifetime traffic.
