WORK HISTORY
Senior Project Coordinator @Media Trust
London, GB
As a project coordinator at Media Trust, a charity focused on empowering charities and young people through access to media and communications volunteers, my role revolves around facilitating matches between our industry partners (such as Meta, BBC, Edelman and Ogilvy) and our network of charities. I actively lead and support our volunteering activities across various thematic programs that cover a wide range of causes. Notable achievements include co-leading our flagship industry volunteering event on International Women\'s Day, which involved over 150 volunteers and 30 charities. Additionally, I collaborated closely with the marketing and communications team to launch campaigns aimed at enhancing volunteer retention and recruitment. Furthermore, I played a key role in creating a compelling short film that captured the impact of the perfect volunteering match. In summary, my role involves facilitating impactful collaborations, driving volunteer engagement, and showcasing the positive outcomes of these partnerships.
