Duxbury Student Union
Program Director & Social Media Manager
In my role at the Duxbury Student Union (DSU), I led dynamic programming for students from elementary through post-grad, overseeing after-school activities, community events, and large-scale initiatives. I developed engaging, team-oriented challenges and creative projects while collaborating with educators, local media, and community leaders to expand DSU’s impact. As Social Media Manager, I crafted a strategic multi-platform content plan, directed and edited videos, and executed digital campaigns that played a key role in major fundraising efforts. My work helped strengthen DSU’s presence and engagement within the community.
