Available to hire
I am a versatile professional with a robust background in high-pressure airline operations and real-time problem solving. I excel at guest communications, irregular operations management, and clear, timely messaging under tight deadlines, drawing on extensive experience coordinating internal and external stakeholders across airports, flight crews, contact centers, and guests.
Parallel to my airline career, I build and produce engaging podcasts and digital media, serving as creator/host/producer for multiple series. I develop concepts, write and edit scripts, record and mix audio, and manage online platforms and social media to grow audiences.
