Kyoto/Boston-based, passionate about using digital platforms as an opportunity for cross-cultural connection. Currently, I'm at the Kura Monzen Gallery as a Social Media Marketing Intern, where I solely manage the SNS presence of the gallery. I focus on using data to create content that is simple, appealing, and efficient; to create strategy that is easily replicable by staff and is malleable enough to be sustainable long-term. I graduated from Wellesley College with a major in Media Arts and Sciences and a minor in Japanese Language and Culture. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and am working my way to fluency in Japanese. Please view my portfolio to learn more about my previous work and process.
