I am a researcher and engagement manager currently employed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). I am focused on projects involving public responsibility. I am skilled in building cross-functional teams, demonstrating exceptional communication skills, and making critical decisions during challenges. I manage the online capacity-development platform ICANN Learn, direct research projects (specifically pertaining to diversity, human rights, environmentalsustainability, and lowering barriers to participation in global Internet governance policy), oversee programs, advise on policy development, facilitate grant making, and manage digital marketing streams and relationships with global partners. I deliver a high volume of work, managing cross-functional relationships as well as relationships with external partners.Presenting this research involves coordinating cross-functionally across the organization and the Board of Directors, to align priorities according to our mission. In support of informed decision making, I am continuously identifying and negotiating competing priorities, as well as aligned perspectives, in order to facilitate consensus and support meaningful outputs.I have taught classroom and online courses in literature, composition, and technical writing prior to Internet governance content development and have a wealth of project management skills from previous marketing-focused posts as well as learned through the compilation of research and writing my PhD thesis, which addresses the role of female agency in the plots of mid-Victorian popular fiction, exposing overlooked contemporary criticism of unfair power structures, which marginalized and silenced women. My management experience from theatrical production work, leading interns, staff, project management teams, and vendors, and from retail management has also equipped me with the skills to allocate resources and successfully coordinate and encourage staff both on my peer level and those for whom I am responsible. I am tech savvy, have experience writing and living in different cultures, and am well-informed across a spectrum of industries.
