I trained and managed a staff of 32 podcasters. I conducted workshops on public speech, writing for the ear and devising interview questions and created a manual with documents on how to plan, record, edit and transcribe podcasts. I produced 67 episodes during the 2023-2024 academic year, 50 episodes more than any previous academic year. I launched "This Week," a weekly news series that explained international and national stories and their relevance to UCLA students. Our premiere episode won second place for Best Podcast at the 2023 California College Media Awards. I launched "Bruin to Bruin," a weekly series that interviewed influential people in the UCLA community. I launched a series that enabled Daily Bruin writers to create audio versions of their articles, increasing the accessibility of Daily Bruin content. I produced seven miniseries on a variety of topics that all provided useful insights to the UCLA community. I launched and managed an Instagram account to increase audience engagement.

As a Podcasts contributor, I produced, edited and hosted “Bruins Built This,” a show that interviewed UCLA alumnus and student entrepreneurs. I won 2nd place for Best Audio/Talk Entertainment Program at the College Media Association Pinnacle Awards for my episode "Bruins Bruilt This: Community Up."

As Senior Editor of the World Section, I ensured that articles were cogent, academic and aligned with the Review’s values. I organized meetings and established deadlines for a dozen teams consisting of a writer and junior editor, guiding them through the pitching, researching and drafting processes.

As a writer and editor for the World section, I wrote and edited articles about armed conflicts, artificial intelligence, Indo-Pacific security, and other topics related to international relations.

As an undergraduate intern, I assisted in the production and promotion of all Burkle Center events. I researched event topics and guest speakers and compiled my research into briefings for the Center’s director. I served as social media captain, which involved writing captions and creating a posting schedule to maximize the Center’s online exposure. I served as the event manager for "Student Voices: Does Foreign Policy Matter?", an event intended to engage UCLA students. I selected the event topic and title, secured a venue and catering with a limited budget, coordinated with event cosponsors, recruited speakers, promoted the event through social media posts and in-person presentations, served as the event moderator and created an event debrief.

I consulted with a pre-revenue start-up to develop its business plan and devise potential growth strategies. I conducted market and competitor research and presented my findings and analysis to the cofounders.

I assisted in event production, created a widely distributed fundraising pamphlet and conducted research for background guides that accompanied events hosted by the Academy. I edited podcasts and wrote introductions for podcasts. I wrote captions for social media posts. Because of my performance as an intern, Academy Director Baroness Claire Fox invited me to join a four-person panel of authors and academics at the Battle of Ideas festival in October 2022 to discuss the U.S. midterms.
