Jan 2018 - May 2021
As a Social Networking Analyst, I was primarily charged with creating content for the County's social media platforms. This included video, graphics, and written content, for both internal and external communications. When communicating externally, I showcased programs and services the County offered the community, creating advocacy and providing a platform for engagement between the public and the County. The main goal was for the public to be aware of what was available to them and direct them to the county's website for more information. I would also represent the County at networking events and after-hours community engagements. Within my department, I was a member of the Newsletter committee and author of 1-2 stories per issue. When COVID hit our community, I was part of a Crisis Communications team responsible for collecting information, creating and disseminating key messages, and working with the media. Show less
