Experience

1. Social Media Manager Consultant

   Open Government Partnership

   Aug 2025 — Present · Washington, DC, US

   As a Social Media Manager Consultant with the Open Government Partnership (OGP), I support the organization’s mission to make governments more transparent, accountable, and responsive to citizens through strategic, creative, and collaborative digital communication. Working alongside OGP’s Communications team, I help shape and elevate the organization’s online presence — developing visual and multimedia content that connects global audiences with OGP’s initiatives and values. This role allows me to bring together my background in design, storytelling, and digital strategy to strengthen how OGP communicates complex ideas in accessible, engaging ways. Core focus areas: Creative strategy & content development: Contribute to global campaigns such as the OGP Global Summit 2025, Open Gov Challenge, and Civic Space Lab, crafting visuals and stories that inspire participation and reflect OGP’s refreshed brand identity. Multimedia production: Edit short-form video content and social “capsules” that highlight OGP’s members, initiatives, and events in dynamic, shareable formats. Visual design & branding: Design graphics, infographics, and marketing materials that reinforce OGP’s visual identity while maintaining consistency and accessibility across platforms. Community engagement: Support platform strategy and engagement efforts on X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Bluesky, Instagram, and Facebook, helping extend OGP’s reach and resonance across diverse audiences. Collaborative storytelling: Partner with global teams and external stakeholders to create content that reflects shared goals and amplifies collective impact. This consultancy is an opportunity to contribute to OGP’s global communications while continuing to grow creatively — combining my passion for storytelling and social impact in a space that values openness, collaboration, and innovation.
