I held a variety of roles during my time at UVA, mostly in communications and marketing. My last role was Digital Editor & Strategist for BackStory the American History Podcast. The podcast analyzed current events through a historical lens and I used that content as a way to bring awareness to alternative history perspectives including African American, Native American, and LGBTQ+ voices while leading website maintenance and social media curation. I also developed and implemented social media policies and procedures to ensure deliverance of consistent messages across all platforms. I managed and trained new team members on publishing standards, copyright and licensing laws, and BackStory’s digital tools. I was also key in the podcast's rebranding and led the process for monetization. BackStory ended in July 2020 and my service to UVA officially ended June 2021.Key achievements from this position included:♦ Created engaging podcast campaign for BackStory that grew single episode downloads by 30% within 18 months, placing podcast in top 1% of all Apple podcasts. ♦ Used social media to report on Charlottesville Tragedy; earned media hits that saw BackStory’s hosts quoted daily in publications such as Buzzfeed and The New York Times. ♦ Grew social media engagement within 18 months of leadership: increased podcast downloads by 12.5%, doubled Facebook organic reach, tripled Twitter engagement, increased blog page views by 95%, and attracted two Facebook influencers to enhance live streaming and marketing. ♦ Reinstated newsletter and increased rate of publishing from monthly to weekly; ultimately growing subscriber list by providing relevant and timely information. ♦ Crafted and implemented communications strategic plan across all social media platforms to include robust content plan and social media policies. ♦ Communicated meaningfully with constituents, including donors and educators, to showcase achieved goals.
