Using Storytelling for Social Good

There are more opportunities out there to create something that matters.

Nesima Aberra loves storytelling, but believes we need to expand where and how stories are told and who tells them. While at AU, she explored how media shapes the way we understand our world. She completed a Dean's Internship at VOX, where she learned how to find compelling human interest angles in more complex news events. Nesima currently works as a Senior Communications Manager for Change Consulting where she manages digital strategies and content creation for various clients.
