Who is August...
If you're reading this, it's probably because you're thinking about hiring me - thanks so much, by the way! Professionally, I'm described as a leader and team-player, someone people feel comfortable asking questions. In my ideal career, I'm working with people who are passionate about what we are creating and challenge me to be a better leader.
On top of my primary responsibilities, I pride myself in my community involvement. At Peacock, I led some of our most successful community building efforts, organizing team happy hours, leading team-building exercises, and advised on morale-boosting incentives. I campaigned for Peacock’s Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) task force, securing and managing a quarterly budget. I educated teammates by creating an inclusive language training module that has been translated for international team members and even presented to other companies. At Peloton, I created some of our most celebrated, inclusive content, spearheading our cross-department initiatives for Transgender Day of Visibility and Transgender Awareness Week 2021/2022. I even created a comprehensive guide to LGBTQ+ employee resources with our DEI team to ensure TGNC employees feel supported on our team.
In my free time, I'm usually tending to my dozens of indoor plants, volunteering with The Trevor Project, or exploring Brooklyn with my dog, Frank.
Where I've been working...
Most recently, I was a creative project coordinator at Peacock. In my day-to-day, I bridged gaps in our marketing, creative, press and production teams to ensure direct to consumer marketing campaign assets were delivered on schedule in the highest quality. I eased communication and expedited timelines by liaising between our internal teammates and external vendors. I created pathways to efficiency on my team by engineering an Airtable task management database.
