I also previously managed my own blog (10+ posts of 500+ words, relevant pictures/photographs) for my Advertising 325 class at Siena College that highlighted different aspects of advertising, marketing and business in everyday life [September - December 2015].
Social Media Manager
I have administered multiple social media accounts for professional and academic purposes during my undergraduate and graduate careers. I managed the following accounts for the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism’s “AudioFiles” news magazine podcasting class from September 2017 to December 2017: Wordpress website, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo and Soundcloud. I managed Siena College's English Society Twitter from September 2013 to May 2016 for the English major/minor school club while as acting club treasurer and vice president.
Data
I have experience making graphics with Datawrapper, Infogram, StoryMapJS and TimelineJS, thanks to my graduate studies. I was one of the main interactive editors for the semester-long Craft II Writing Intensive course's special report/project, "Invisible Hands: How the Undocumented Shape New York City's Economy," at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism in Spring 2017. During this time we were responsible for finding, compiling and developing interactive charts/graphs for relevant data that pertained to the project at hand. In October 2017, "Invisible Hands" won the 2017 Editor and Publisher Award for Best College/University News or Event Feature. In March 2018, "Invisible Hands" was nominated as a finalist for the Society of Professional Journalists Mark of Excellence Awards for Region 1 (which covers most of the Northeast) in the Online News Reporting category.
