Recent highlights

Clips I’m excited about right now include an Instagram Story I created from behind-the-scenes, on-the-boat footage, captured during an expedition to the deepest point in the Arctic Ocean. The story was part of the social rollout for a magazine feature by Ben Taub, “Thirty-Six Thousand Feet Under the Sea.”

To promote The New Yorker’s VR film “Reeducated,” an immersive investigation of the reeducation camps in Xinjiang, China, I devised a cross-platform rollout plan featuring Instagram posts, an Instagram Story, multiple Twitter threads, and more.

After a particularly brutal pandemic winter, I wrote about the tiki cocktail book that helped me make it through.

And, back in 2019, when we could breathe on each other in public, I followed the writer Calvin Trillin on his famous New Yorker Fest food tour and documented the adventure on Instagram Stories. That same weekend, I filmed a lively backstage discussion about skincare with Sarah Silverman and cut it into a social-exclusive video for The New Yorker’s Instagram feed.

Storytelling on Snapchat Discover

These are just a few snaps from the 130+ editions my award-winning team of five created over the course of WIRED’s year and a half on Snapchat Discover. I wrote and edited every word of these editions, selected stories, and provided direction on video and art choices.

Account management

You can tell I’m a social-media professional by the way I obsessively and unceasingly rapid-scroll through Twitter dot com! Many social posts are #ephemeral, but they’ll always hold a special place in my heart. Here are a few of the accounts where I’ve tweeted, posted, and gone ✨live ✨.

@Medium on Instagram
I freelanced as an Instagram Stories creator, writing and designing slides to promote the platform’s essays.

@Refinery29 and @r29Style on Instagram
I interviewed RuPaul, the cast of Pretty Little Liars, JoJo Fletcher, and many more celebs for refinery29’s accounts. Plus, I managed takeovers by Mandy Moore, Jessica Chastain, and others.

@HuffPost on Twitter
This was a 24/7 job—posting links to stories or live-tweeting national news as it happened. For some events, I managed @HuffPostEnt as well. On slow days I tweeted hedgehog gifs. Obviously.

HuffPost on Facebook
I learned everything I know about social posting by A/B testing headlines, images, and statuses for HuffPost. I also helped ideate and launch community-focused Facebook Groups, like Cancelled Plans and Tomorrow, Inshallah.

@FreeFoodMizzou
My foray into account management started in college, when I tweeted out the location of all the free food on campus.
