About Michael Carter

I wear many hats, both literally and figuratively. I have worked as, among other things, an organizer for progressive political campaigns, a private tutor, a server at a fine dining restaurant, a freelance writer, a model, and an actor. Contact me here if you want to connect, or email me at: m••••••••@gmail.com.I am an accomplished communicator and published writer with extensive experience gained from working on successful political campaigns, at the largest healthcare labor union local in the United States, within the New York State government, and in the tech industry. I am also the only staffer to have worked for Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Julia Salazar. I have extensive experience creating materials across various genres, including entertainment writing, magazine articles, academic writing, strategic documentation, executive memos, newsletters, social media content, radio scripts, video scripts, blogs, and skits. I\'ve also demonstrated competence in creating and implementing editorial calendars, including the ability to envision and execute complex projects involving multiple stakeholders and contributors.As a public relations and media relations professional, I have a deep understanding of the media landscape and the news cycle and a finger on the pulse of the social media conversation, including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and Snapchat.
