Sales, Marketing, and Acquisitions Consultant
(APR 2024 -PRESENT)
Following a company restructuring, I transitioned from my role at Common Sense Networks to a freelance consultant, serving clients across various industries, including entertainment. My expertise in project management, team collaboration, content development, and contract negotiation has proven valuable to both independent businesses and larger corporations. Whether I'm managing Salesforce opportunities and projects on Tableau or offering strategy advice for creative entrepreneurs, I am eager to assist any and all business leaders in navigating challenges to achieve the best outcomes possible.Common Sense Networks
(June 2021-Mar 2024)
In my most recent role as Content Moderation Coordinator for Common Sense Networks, I led a team of education and media specialists to review content for our streaming service (Sensical) and partnerships (e.g. TikTok STEM, YouTube). This role required constant, clear communication of company policy and a problem-solving mindset to find opportunities in obstacles. I conducted industry research and content analysis to provide our partnerships with effective strategies using presentations and written memos. Additionally, I worked across departments (Acquisitions, Sales, Content Operations, Programming) to ensure project completion along our pipeline.Hollow Rose Studios
(Mar 2021-present)
I also enjoy pursuing creative projects in my free time, my most recent one being an interactive visual novel titled “An Everyday Love.” I managed all aspects of this game, from conception to distribution, using my background knowledge in art, programming, marketing, industry research, and writing to bring my vision to fruition. Utilizing my network, keeping realistic deadlines, and taking note of how to present my game in relation to other titles along the industry calendar led my project to successful release. Months later, I was able to cover the costs of production through donations alone. Cures of Color
(Apr 2021-dEC 2021)
While at Cures of Color, I was the head writer and creative advisor for the book Grace’s Heartful Protest. After writing the basic plot (simple enough for 3-8 readers to comprehend, but still educational and entertaining), I came up with games and activities to sprinkle throughout the book that would be theme and age-appropriate. Based on our publication deadline, I separated our writing/art tasks month by month so that artists would know what to present during each meeting. Following the initial writing process, I led the team through character design, style rules, margin and perspective rules (as drawing for coloring books has a different goal than direct illustration), drafts and outlines, feedback, edits, readability check (how do the eyes move along the page from text to visuals?), final drafts, final edits and feedback. In doing this, we finished the book on schedule and received praise from the executive board on the quality of our work.
NBCUniversal Page Program
(May 2019 - Sep 2020)
I was part of the East Coast Page program for NBCUniversal in May 2019. During my ambassadorship months through the year long program (about three months), I led over 100 tours of the studios, guided hundreds of audience groups to "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon" and the "Late Show with Seth Meyers" and assisted in preparing The Today Show Plaza during the weekdays for visitors, all while learning about the various facets of the organization’s work. I led a variety of assignments in business, consumer, and content departments to further my experience and understanding of the media landscape.The Studio
(Sep 2017 - Dec 2018)
As the Content Acquisitions Director for The Studio, I was responsible for scouting and reviewing student pitches based on The Studio's creative, financial, and brand guidelines, selecting six to pass through the first stage. I then collected their treatments (for which I designed and gave guidelines for) and promotional videos for the second round of judging (in which all studio execs had a say), and prepared pitchers for their presentation during the event. In addition, I assisted in creating the event's schedule, set-up, and organization, and collaborated with industry alumni for the final round of judging during the event as well.
