Digital Communications Associate at Boston Medical Center (BMC) and Boston University School of Medicine
January 2013 – December 2015 (2 years, 11 months)
When I began this position in January 2013, my title was Communications Associate and I had a dual role serving Boston Medical Center (BMC) and Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and my job function was the same for both institutions. I served as a primary staff writer and production editor for The BMC Brief, BMC’s internal e-publication. I created multimedia content as a staff photographer and video producer and designed and managed digital signage programs for BMC and BUSM. I wrote and produced weekly news and events email communications for BMC and BUSM. I edited electronic content for BMC intranet and BUSM websites and assisted with BMC and BUSM social media channels, I advised hospital and school staff on publicizing events. I also served on the Executive Committee for the BMC Young Professionals Employee Resource Group as the Communications Chair.

In October of 2014, BMC and BUSM entered a transition to separate the combined the Office of Communications into two separate entities, where I successfully advocated to create a new role for myself as a Digital Communications Associate, continuing my previous duties with a focus on digital media communication at BMC. After demonstrating my technical skills in HTML, graphic design and emerging media,, I crafted my own job description that encompassed managing the hospital intranet and several pages on the external website, production, managing internal digital publication channels (such as email communications, content management systems and digital signage), social media, multimedia (photography and videos) and exploring new technology resources and applications. I left this role to pursue a career path in higher education and science writing, where I will have the opportunity to go back to school to obtain my Master’s degree.

Network Affiliate Coordinator at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
May 2011 – January 2013 (1 year 9 months)
This administrative role served as a stepping stone into healthcare. I oversaw organization of the Clinical Trials Office by scheduling pharmaceutical monitoring visits and conference room appointments, lent support to the Network Affiliate branch of the Clinical Trials Office with database management and performed various administrative tasks such as booking travel, ordering supplies, scheduling and organizing meetings and building an online repository for colleagues to access documents. I left this role because I accepted an offer for a job that was more aligned to my journalism background and my career goals.

Producer at Quantia Communications
August 2010 – May 2011 (10 months)
This was my first job out of college, and helped me learn a great deal about the professional world. I produced editorial content for interactive medical communications website, utilized Microsoft Powerpoint, audio editing program and company-specific content management system to produce content and publish to QuantiaMD.com and collaborated with editors and other producers to produce content in a timely manner. I left this job after a relatively short time because the long, tiring commute (1.5-3 hours, depending on the weather, each way!) was having a negative effect on my work/life balance.
