BEAUTIFUL SOCIAL RESEARCH COLLABORATIVE
The Beautiful Social Research Collaborative or "BSocial" is a community-engaged writing program within the Department of Communication and Media Studies at Saint Joseph’s University.
As a Foley Fellow for Civic Media and Engagement, I act as a project manager and community partner liaison where I manage and lead a group of digital media consultants through their community partner project.
PROJECT - GREATER FREEDOM THINK TANK
Greater Freedom Think Tank is a collective of incarcerated and unincarcerated educators and scholars who work to facilitate collaborative conversations inside and outside of the prison system. Working through these issues, the collective means to humanize the prison experience as they continue to work to abolish systems that prevent incarcerated individuals from coming home and/or struggling with the adjustment from incarceration to constant access freedom.
Through our partnership during Spring 2023, we were able to collaborate with leaders within the collective to establish a name and logo to better identify the group. We also worked to concept a website structure that will be implemented in the future.
PROJECT - NO LIMITS MEDIA
No Limits Media is a non-profit organization based out of Boston, Massachusetts. The organization works to provide equal opportunities to people with disabilities by giving them a platform. During our partnership, I was able to lead my group to making a 12 month editorial calendar in Google Sheets for their social media channels. This featured templated posts for feed and stories as well as completed graphics. All posts were made in Canva. We were able to partner with No Limits Media to revamp their social media accounts by boosting their web presence.

PROJECT - SJU CREATIVE COLLECTIVE
In Spring 2022, I was partnered with the SJU COM Creative Collective where my group was able to concept a collective of students at Saint Joseph’s University students who want to use their creativity and resources to produce creative content for campus groups and surrounding communities. We conducted focus groups with students, concepted different organizational structures and built the collective from the ground up, creating branding and a mission statement for the organization.
PROJECT - SAMUEL GOMPER’S SCHOOL
In my first semester with BSocial as a digital media consultant, my group partnered with Samuel Gomper's School to update their website to make it more accessible and organized. We redesigned the website by adding tabs, organizing the content and updated the imagery to accurately reflect the school's culture and community. As a consultant for Beautiful Social, we also were tasked with creating Instagram content for the Beautiful Social Instagram page to display our work and process throughout our project.
