Skills
Summary
I am an experienced communications professional who has worked with organizations of all sizes, across multiple industry sectors. I have formulated communications and social media strategies and executed plans, both alone and as part of a larger team; I have experience producing internal and external communications for both corporate and consumer audiences across a variety of channels. I am accustomed to working with all levels of leadership – to assess communications needs or articulate key messages. I am also a certified teacher (intermediate/senior English and ESL). My recent experience has been primarily with film festivals: programming and logistics. TIFF, Sundance, Hot Docs, and other festivals in Canada, the US, the UK, and Ireland. Happy to entertain offers to work for your festival, wherever and whenever it might be. Eligible to work in Canada or anywhere in the European Union.
