Since joining California State Parks Foundation in 2022, I’ve grown from Digital Marketing Assistant to Marketing Coordinator. I now plan and produce communications across email, web, social media, SMS, advocacy, fundraising, and content.
My work helps Californians learn about their state parks, take action on urgent issues, volunteer, attend events, and support the organization’s mission.
-
California State Parks Foundation communicates with a large statewide audience about issues ranging from public funding and climate resilience to park access, volunteering, and fundraising.
Each campaign needs to make the issue easy to understand, connect it to people’s lives, and offer a clear next step.
-
I help move projects from early planning through launch, promotion, measurement, and refinement.
My responsibilities include:
Plan and coordinate integrated digital campaigns
Manage email production, segmentation, testing, and reporting
Lead editorial planning for blogs and website content
Create social media content and paid promotions
Build landing pages and improve accessibility and SEO
Track performance through GA4 and channel reporting
Coordinate with departments, agencies, vendors, and partners

During this period, Instagram grew by more than 100% and LinkedIn by 130%.
Website and Content
I lead editorial planning for blogs, landing pages, campaign updates, and other website content. I have also supported a Drupal redevelopment and migration, improved accessibility and SEO, and used GA4 insights to guide content strategy.
