More Than a Message: Storytelling for Inclusive Change

Communication is more than just sharing information; it’s about connection. It's about building a bridge between a mission and the people who make it possible. It's finding the human heart of a project and sharing it in a way that resonates.

My journey into this field wasn't traditional. With degrees in Literature and Social Work, I was first drawn to on-the-ground impact, working in rural development and supporting students with disabilities. I learned to listen first. My work in photography taught me how a single image can convey a world of emotion, telling a complete story without a single word.

Advocacy is a Shared Story

Now, as a Communications Officer in the disability rights sector, my role is to weave these threads together. I get to blend advocacy with creativity. It’s a role where I can:

• Manage key programs like the Fellowship for Youth with Disabilities, focusing on capturing and co-directing a short documentary on the program's impact.
• Drive awareness for scholarships, using social media not just for announcements, but for impact storytelling that shows the tangible difference these opportunities make.
• Lead campaigns like the Universal Design Awards, coordinating everything from digital outreach to media relations to ensure the spotlight shines brightly on innovation and inclusion.

Connecting with Compassion

My professional background, from social work to marketing, has given me a unique perspective. I understand that to reach people, your message must be authentic. It has to be rooted in genuine community engagement and delivered with compassion.

This is what I love to do. My work isn't about just sending a message; it's about starting a conversation, fostering a community, and using the power of strategic communication to support a more inclusive and equitable world.

Each project is a new chance to tell a story that matters.
