I’m a social media and content marketing specialist with a passion for storytelling through food, culture, and digital media. I have experience building and growing brand presence from the ground up, including scaling a restaurant’s Instagram from 3 to over 2,000 followers through short-form video, trend-driven content, and community-focused strategies. I enjoy creating content that feels authentic and engaging. Whether it’s capturing behind-the-scenes moments in the kitchen, highlighting ingredients, or telling stories that connect with audiences. My approach is both creative and data-driven, using insights and performance metrics to continuously refine content and improve results. I’m especially interested in working with brands that bring together food, wellness, and community, and I’m excited about the opportunity to create meaningful, visually compelling content that resonates with people.
