PROFESSIONAL WORK
Communications Fellow
As the Communications Fellow at the EFI Foundation (EFIF), I worked under Former Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz to disseminate the organization’s clean energy research and analysis. I helped expand EFIF’s reach beyond its initial audience of clean energy academics by creating a strategic social media plan and videos designed to engage and educate the general public and younger audiences. These videos simplified complex topics such as nuclear power, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the U.S. Energy and Employment Report.
In this role, my team often relied on me to transform their written content from Word documents into visually appealing designs using Canva. Some examples of this work, including a handout, one-pager, newsletter, and event tiles are shown below.

Graduate Outreach Educator
During my time with the University of Florida’s GatorWell Health Promotion Services, I aimed to educate UF students on health and wellness topics as they pursued their academic goals. I delivered weekly presentations on a range of wellness topics, including sleep, stress management, and overall wellbeing.
Recognizing that the existing PowerPoint templates were outdated and lacked visual appeal, I identified an opportunity to enhance student engagement. Despite the presence of wellness-themed icons and graphics in other GatorWell educational tools, they were not used at all in the presentations. The presentations also used colors and fonts than were not part of UF’s branding. I proposed and implemented a revamped template, which is the GatorWell Presentation Template below.
Using this updated design, I refreshed presentations such as “9 Dimensions of Wellbeing” and “Managing Stress,” aligning them with modern design standards. This update not only improved the aesthetic quality of the slides but also boosted student engagement during presentations, making the material more relatable and impactful.
Multimedia Intern
As the Multimedia Intern at Digital Resource, a digital marketing firm in Palm Beach, I contributed to a variety of creative and technical tasks. I supported client photo shoots as an assistant photographer and set designer, ensuring each session aligned with client expectations.
In this role, I edited photos captured by my team using Adobe Creative Cloud and developed proficiency in both Photoshop and Lightroom. I learned to enhance photos to align with each client’s brand identity while making them visually appealing. This experience allowed me to blend technical expertise with creative vision to deliver high-quality, on-brand visuals.
