Public Relations Intern, Wikimedia Foundation

About me

I have experience working in communications in the nonprofit and technology sectors. Prior to joining the Wikimedia Foundation, I worked as a corporate communications intern at Sprinklr, a social media management software startup. I have a B.A. in communication and global studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

I have always been passionate about human rights and interested in the ways innovation and technology can be used to improve people’s lives. I’m especially interested in how making information free and accessible to all can help mitigate inequality.

In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors, watching films, and practicing and learning French and Swedish.

My work

As a PR intern, I provide support to the communications team with media relations, corporate communications, and any other responsibilities related to promoting the Foundation’s work to the public.

Disclaimer: I work for the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I intend to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
