I help people to educate and inform others. Through writing and visual storytelling I work to ensure that messages and information are effectively conveyed by identifying key points, expounding upon critical details and providing an easy to understand and approachable end deliverable. In this process I have created project briefs, SOPs, safety instructions, social media content, educational videos, and animated demonstrations among others. EXPERIENCE
