ABOUT ME
Digital news - it's probably the most crucial type of news consumption that almost everyone relies on daily. As a result, I'm pleased to be working on growing and engaging audiences while experimenting with digital storytelling at The Guardian as the Senior Audience Engagement Editor. In May 2018, I graduated from Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism with a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication and a certificate in International Studies. After spending some time in Rochester, Minnesota, working as the Social Media & Digital Manager for KTTC TV and FOX 47, I moved to Columbia, South Carolina, in June 2019 to join McClatchy's Southeast Regional Audience Growth & Retention team as an Engagement Editor and was later promoted to Audience Development Editor, where I managed my own audience team. Later, I joined Bloomberg News and served as an Audience Development Editor and, later, Team Lead.
I'm proud to have led several initiatives including live events, high-impact distribution plans, live social coverage and reader callouts for the10 Southeast newsrooms. In addition to being a leader for these newsrooms, I also sat as a co-leader for McClatchy's first-ever People of Color ERG. Having completed my Master's in Digital Audience Strategy in May 2022, I've realized more that my passion is to engage digital audiences for newsrooms by experimenting and establishing innovative strategies for content distribution and high-impact reporting. It's a job that reels in readers from all parts of the audience funnel, which makes this role so exciting.
