Expert on Europe

I have solid media experience. I have managed, maintained, and moderated a huge volume of social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. I developed social media content calendars in weekly and monthly sessions, write, post, and share engaging and creative copy, stories, images, and videos to promote the associated brands. I also worked with content marketing associates to share and reshare content immediately after posting. I am able to increase brand recognition by more than 15% annually in key online markets.
