CHICAGO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY SOCIAL MEDIA

I freelanced with Chicago Theological Seminary from 2019 to 2021, creating social copy and social graphics for the Seminary's first 30 Days of CTS giving campaign and later managing the Seminary's social media, creating graphics in Canva and Adobe InDesign. In my first year managing the platform, organic follower growth doubled from 3% to 6%.
