KUHNLER

I am a multi-faceted young professional

with a professional background in edu-

cational project management,

school marketing, and analytical

research. My most recent work experi-

ence at KQED accentuated talent and

passion for creative strategy and con-

tent curation, and has vastly extend-

ed skill set to highlight media writing

and digital storytelling. Strengths and

unique qualities I want to highlight are

my strong academic background in

Language & Cultural Studies and Edu-

cation, as well as my multi-cultural and

bi-lingual background, which together

shape my personality and global identi-

ty. I am a strategic mind, with a creative

understanding on a mission to influence

our world.
