Summary

I am currently in my fourth year at Western University, completing an Honors Specialization in Media Information and Technoculture and a certificate in Digital Communication. I have a passion for writing, and I am very detail oriented. My previous roles as a Smartmail Marketing Intern for Canada Post and Social Media Intern for Western Communications have helped me execute and develop these skills. I have experience creating shareable content designed for specific networks to spread brand awareness, as well as writing external and internal collateral documents within a corporate setting. Currently in my role as a Student Ambassador for Western Recruitment my skills have assisted in supporting the Social Media coordinators with their strategy and content planning, as well as writing important articles and blogs for prospective students.
