Music Reviews

By creating thoughtful, story-driven articles for For the Punks (and previously Radiowave Monitor), I pitched, researched, and wrote each piece with care, often interviewing artists to portray their stories authentically and genuinely. I shared my love of music and live shows in a way that resonated with fellow enthusiasts, highlighting the emotions and experiences that make music a shared, connective space. Through this work, I built a stronger bond between the audience and the music community—turning casual readers into engaged, passionate followers over time.

Other skills that I have cultivated over the years:

  • At the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health, I worked with the Senior Manager of Digital Fundraising on the donor website’s redesign.

    I assisted in collecting feedback from every team to ensure their department was accurately represented.

    I also led efforts in compiling images for the website that accurately reflected the diverse population of the hospital, as well as created icons to ensure brand consistency.

    At Filoli, I updated and maintained the web design, often changing layout and brand colors to match the seasonal changes of the gardens. I also collaborated with internal stakeholders to ensure the information on the website was functioning and up-to-date.

  • I was the administrator for the Lucile Packard Foundation’s photo management, Cumulus.

    I was involved in the strategy and implementation to a new system, MerlinOne. This management system had the ability to house a variety of media the foundation had, including designed collateral, video, and interview recordings.

    I helped create the systems, tagging, and UI for the management system to be used organization-wide. I led meetings introducing the new system to stakeholders and also fieled user questions between the Director of Development Communications and MerlinOne.

    At Filoli, I assisted in the management of our DAM system, Canto. I ensured that photos were tagged correctly, credited photographers, as well as managed intake and permission forms for User-Generated Content.

  • I am proficient in InDesign, Illustrator, Lightroom, and Premier Pro

  • At the Lucile Packard Foundation, I was at the forefront of DEIB+ efforts. I served in the Diversity & Inclusion Taskforce for 1.5 years and served as Co-Lead for 4 months, and Lead for almost a year. During this time I worked closely with the Chief of Staff and a third party in the DEI+ space to create more spaces for colleagues to feel connected, especially during the pandemic.

    I also implemented our first LGBTQ+ ERG, Rainbow Connection. The ERG hosted the Foundation’s first ever Pride event.

    At Filoli, I was involved in the D&I Taskforce and helped create and implement accessibility guidelines across collateral as well as the website. I actively sought out employees and encouraged them to tell their stories on our platforms, highlighting their work for Filoli as well as giving them a welcoming and comfortable space to be themselves.
