You could say I’m a double threat...

At NYC DOT, I was an Urban Fellow, equipping both my project management & graphic design skills.

    • Managed the first iteration of NYCDOT’s Greener Roadways Training.

    • Researched COVID-19’s impacts on employment to inform the program’s outreach strategy

    • Personally canvassed and handed out flyers to the local community

    • Successfully ran a social media campaign, receiving 3,000+ interactions and 150 applications for a 15-person program.

    • Acted as an in-house graphic designer, providing support to multiple teams and projects at NYC DOT.

    • Redesigned the NYC DOT Jamaica NOW Report to meet increased accessibility and design standards

The Greener Roadways Training is a workforce development program, built to give folks with limited experience and education a pathway into the horticulture industry.

  • Social media graphics I made for a workforce development program that I managed at the NYC Department of Transportation.

  • This program was designed with an equity lens, as a pathway into the Landscaping industry. There were no educational or experiential requirements. Our goal was to engage communities with previous criminal justice experience.

  • The program gained 3,000+ authentic interactions and 1,600+ direct shares on Instagram. All-in-all we received over 150+ applications for a 15 person program!

I have much more material from NYC DOT, but — due to the ever elusive & confidential ways of City government— I can’t post it here!
