As the sole Digital Media Strategist at Vulcan Productions, the social impact film arm of the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, I ran organic and paid digital campaigns for over a dozen powerful films and VR experiences tackling global issues—from ocean conservation to the atrocity of forced labor. I partnered with Human Rights Watch, Conservation International, and the James Beard Foundation. I toured film festivals around the USA. I supported documentary subjects going onstage at the United Nations during World Oceans Week. Though my time ended due to company-wide layoffs in late 2019, it remains one of the most creatively fulfilling roles of my career.
