A marketer with a photographer's eye — I build brand and content strategies that look intentional and prove it with the numbers.

Emory Goizueta '26. I work across social, content, and campaigns — seeing the full picture while sweating the details that make it land.

About

I've spent my degree learning how brands grow — then proving it in the field. From a 45% follower jump to a reel that broke 11K views, I make creative work that's measurable, and analytics that stay human.

Selected Work

Three campaigns,
three sides of me.

Case Study 01 — Emory Pre-College Program

Social Media Strategy · 2025

As Marketing Intern I overhauled the program's brand identity and executed a targeted content strategy — growing the Instagram following 45% (1,100 → 1,600+), producing the program's highest-performing reel at 11.5K+ views, and serving as sole photographer to build an image library still in active use.

Case Study 02 — Edgewise Media

Creator Consulting

I analyze creator performance — follower growth, view velocity, engagement rate — and translate the data into concrete content moves: tighter thumbnails, cohesive feeds, and camera & lighting adjustments that raise production value without raising budget.

Case Study 03 — Nonprofit Campaign

Epilepsy Awareness

A cause I founded in 2021 and still run — raising awareness and funds for epilepsy research. Yearly fundraisers have raised $4,000+ for the Epilepsy Foundation of America, powered by ongoing multi-channel awareness campaigns I plan and manage. In 2025 I co-founded FEAT at Emory, extending the work to campus programming and partnerships.

Photography & Performance

The photographer's eye behind the marketing. Portrait, event and sports photography, plus a lifetime in Kathak dance (Associate Degree) — the creative range that makes my content feel intentional.
