Other skills have been shaped by life experiences, such as the time I spend as a Fulbright scholar in Nepal. Living there gave me:
The years I spent running a handmade fine jewelry business made me a detail-obsessed craftsperson. I learned how to sell my work by creating marketing that connects, and focusing foremost on the needs of my clients.
In 2015, I founded and led a non-profit that completed several large construction projects in Nepal. Our most notable achievement was the rebuilding of Rainaskot, an earthquake-struck village.
From this experience I became proficient in
Teamwork,
Collaboration and Project Management
brand style guide, report covers, website graphics, presentation slides, graphics for video series
investor presentation deck
wall mural for company headquarters
investor presentation materials
brand style guide, website
magazine-style newsletter
I initiated and led a fundraising campaign to rebuild a 15-home village in Rainaskot, Nepal after the earthquake in 2015. Our team also built a community center in Kavre and undertook flood relief in the Terai. Responisbilites incuded all marketing materials and communications in the US as well as PR and media appearances in Nepal. This included the website, posters, brochures and videos.
I designed, made and marketed a line of precious metal jewelry which had cumulative sales of over $1 million. To this end, I produced catalogs, websites, social media campaigns and video content.
