I\u2019m passionate about telling stories that resonate across platforms, whether I\u2019m behind the mic, the camera, or the code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, I\u2019m a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/templeuniv\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/templeuniv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Digital Video Producer at Temple University<\/a>, where I\u2019ve created over 125 videos and multi-platform posts that have reached more than 2 million people and sparked 1.2 million video views. I love developing short-form content like TikToks and Reels that showcase student life, boost engagement, and build authentic connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formerly, I was a Research Assistant at Temple\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CARE Lab<\/a>, where I study cybersecurity and human behavior\u2014specifically deepfakes, machine learning, and how digital media impacts online safety. I\u2019ve co-authored a paper on AI-driven social engineering attacks that\u2019s being published by IEEE, and I\u2019m earning certificates in both cybersecurity and behavioral analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of work, I volunteer leading the digital strategy unit for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/keystoneharvest.org\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/keystoneharvest.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Keystone Harvest<\/a><\/strong>, where I manage a creative team building buzz around a 2026 church launch in Norristown.
