Social Media Work
Below are some samples from my professional social media works at the Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome, DS-Connect®: The Down Syndrome Registry, INCLUDE Data Coordinating Center (DCC), CU Anschutz Department of Pharmacology, and Hearing In Color.
Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome
The Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome (Crnic Institute) is one of the leading research institutes for Down syndrome in the world. Home of the Human Trisome Project, the largest biobank in the world for people with Down syndrome, the Crnic Institute's mission is to improve the lives of individuals with Down syndrome through advanced biomedical research.
As a communications professional at the Crnic Institute (June 2024-present), part of my role is managing our social media workflows, creating social media content, and engaging with our community across various platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, and Bluesky.
DS-Connect®
DS-Connect®: The Down Syndrome Registry enables people with Down syndrome and their families to contribute to research studies, connect with Down syndrome researchers, and find resources and community events.
I currently manage content creation for the DS-Connect® Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn and assist in driving strategy for reach and engagement.
INCLUDE Data Coordinating Center (DCC)
The INCLUDE Data Coordinating Center (DCC) , part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) INCLUDE Project, is making it easier for scientists and the Down syndrome community to work together. Matching the latest technology with shareable resources, researchers use the Data Hub to enhance healthcare and change lives.
I currently manage the INCLUDE DCC's LinkedIn. Our content focuses primarily on research and Data Hub updates, event marketing, Data Science for Developing Scholars in Down Syndrome Research (DS3) recruitment initiatives, and connecting with the Down syndrome research community by amplifying community events, webinars, and office hours.
CU Anschutz Department of Pharmacology
The University of Colorado Anschutz Department of Pharmacology's is leading groundbreaking discoveries in structural biology, signal transduction, neuropharmacology, and cancer biology. These discoveries are mapping the biological pathways that form the bedrock of future medical advancements.
During my time as a part-time communications professional at the CU Anschutz Department of Pharmacology (June 2024-May 2026), I created a new social media strategy for social media and managed our social media accounts across Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and Bluesky. I also launched the department's first branding campaign, featuring 13 professionally captured short-form videos highlighting faculty members across various research areas in the department, as well as a department overview video.
Hearing In Color
Hearing In Color is a non-profit organization based in Chicago, IL that designs and produces community-centered music programs that amplify historically excluded composers and performers.
As an Arts Internship Awardee through the Michigan State University College of Music, I served as a communications coordinator intern from May 2023 through December 2023. In this internship, I assisted with the creation and production of the Hearing In Color fall 2023 season announcement, created social media graphics in Canva, and led a queer composer highlight campaign during Pride Month.
