Writing Children's Books
I made this stop motion video to announce our book on social media. Hover over to watch:
During the pandemic, my friend and I co-authored a children's book about dinosaurs in outer space (what could be better?). We self-published on Amazon and now have over 650 sales. I also wrote a book about traveling the world for my nephew, which I plan to publish after updating the illustrations. My friend and I have just finished writing our second book and are currently working with the illustrator to get the pages looking perfect. We are excited to publish another book this year!

Making Social Cohesive
When I was promoted to become a recruiter for the company I taught for in Japan, I was able to take over our social media channels. The previous channels were an assortment of images from Japan, which looked more like a travel feed than a company's presentation of itself.
I wanted the social channels to not only inspire candidates to apply to our company, but educate them on what life in Japan was like, as well as teaching at our schools. I created a cohesive look with colors and fonts, and used a lot of my own photographs to revive our feed.
Reel Creation
In my current position we are expanding our market to millennials in order to build a strong base that will continue the success of our travel company. I introduced the idea of using Reels on Instagram to increase reach and brand awareness. Hover below to check out a few:

Travel Photography
I post images from my travels on the Instagram account @travel.a.map, and while now this serves as a mini archive for myself, I did keep a blog while living in Japan, found at travelasmuchaspossible.com. Travel [A MAP] = As Much As Possible.
