Work. Life.

Since December 2023, I have been working in a full-time, hybrid role as a Digital Content Specialist on the Medical Communications team at the University of Vermont (UVM) campus in Burlington, Vermont. In this position, I manage social media strategy and content (over 2,000 posts published in 2024) with an audience of more than 24,000 followers at UVM’s Larner College of Medicine (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X/Twitter). In this role, I attend numerous events both on and off-campus, caputuring footage for engaging social content. Several times per year, high-profile projects and events occur in medical school, including graduation day, resident match day, and the white coat ceremony. For these occasions, I collaborate with UVM’s flagship social media team to share content with the entire University, and work with our event planner, internal graphic designer, project coordinator, and professional photographers to develop and cover larger campaigns.

Beyond social media, I manage a variety of communications channels such as the UVM Larner Med blog; the Dean’s monthly Larner Medicine email newsletter (over 2,000 subscribers); the college’s multiple large display monitors; and I have authored dozens of feature articles and shorter pieces for the college website and magazine, shared in my online portfolio. I have advanced proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite, Adobe Express, Hootsuite (Analytics), Later LinkInBio, Canva, Basecamp, Photo Shelter, Moodle, EMMA by Marigold (email management), Mailchimp, Microsoft Office 365, Drupal, WordPress, SquareSpace, and Wix.
