Experience
Assistant Director of Communications
Aug 2023 — Present · Anchorage, AK, US
I’ve significantly elevated the Anchorage School District’s external communications. As Assistant Director of Communications, I lead both media relations and social media with clarity, consistency, and a strong strategic vision. My initiative and editorial skills have reshaped how ASD tells its story—balancing transparency on complex issues with celebrations of student and staff success.I’ve expanded ASD’s digital presence and content strategy in meaningful ways. I introduced and developed branded storytelling series such as Alumni Spotlight, Teaching Today, and the Shine Bright podcast. These efforts have deepened community connection and strengthened the district’s public identity. I also added live social media coverage of school events and graduations, offering real-time access to district milestones and improving community engagement.I managed external consultants and vendors to support communications, media production, and branding projects—ensuring alignment with district goals, on-time delivery, and high-quality results through clear scopes of work, regular check-ins, and performance feedback.When our primary digital storyteller is unavailable, I step in without hesitation to create content and ensure that ASD’s story continues to be told. My versatility and media skills help maintain the quality and consistency of our messaging.I also support and train staff across schools and departments, helping to build communication capacity districtwide. I’m a trusted media liaison, a steady communicator during urgent situations, and a team-oriented colleague. Many know me as “Coach Corey,” a nickname that reflects my mentorship, positive presence, and collaborative spirit. My ongoing professional growth, creativity, and commitment to service make me a proud and essential part of the ASD team.
