Work Experience

I currently work for The Spence Connection as the Social Media Marketing Specialist. The Spence Connection is a luxury travel service that connects discerning travelers with top-tier travel experts. Founded by John Spence, who has over 30 years of experience in the industry, the company focuses on crafting highly personalized, immersive, and expertly curated journeys. With a commitment to exceptional service, The Spence Connection pairs clients with the best in travel, ensuring unique and memorable experiences.

At The Spence Connection I develop and execute social media strategies across Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn to enhance brand awareness and engagement. I create and publish copy across multiple channels, ensuring consistency and engagement. I conduct interviews and edit videos for social media using Adobe Rush to bring content to life. Additionally, I assist in managing blog posts and maintaining the website through Squarespace. I also oversee our CRM in HubSpot, crafting and sending targeted e-blasts to segmented audiences. It’s been an amazing experience learning about the travel industry and meeting industry leaders making a difference in their communities through eco-tourism.

One of my favorite interviews we conducted was with Mark ‘Butch’ Butcher, the Director of Imvelo Safari Lodges. Butch is a true hero of community and conservation in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe. Through his tireless efforts, he has played a pivotal role in preserving the region’s wildlife and supporting local communities. His work goes beyond traditional conservation, focusing on sustainable tourism, wildlife protection, and empowering the people who live alongside these precious ecosystems.
