I am a social media manager and photographer specializing in non-profit communications based in New York City. My previous roles have also afforded me the opportunity to undergo on-the-job training for competence in product development, project management, copywriting, and translation.I have taken these hands-on experiences to foster a diversity set of skills within dissimilar disciplines. Through this role, I have taught peers with group workshops and one-on-one training, provide guidance and counsel to colleagues for their ongoing initiatives, and leverage my Japanese language skills to act as a liaison between international and Japanese peers. In my leisure time, I have undertaken initiatives to add to the richness of the Black and LGBTQIA community in Tokyo. From 2015, I acted as secretary (and later vice president) of the African American Youth Travel Program, where I was instrumental in helping to establish the Japan-based non-profit, which provides study abroad opportunities to Black American students from communities and backgrounds with sparse options for abroad travel.
