Description

In February 2019, I left my job at Stanford University to work abroad and have kept traveling since. I have lived and worked on 4 continents plus Puerto Rico for local nonprofits, universities, a tech company, and the UN. I love to travel however and wherever I can, but I get the most joy and fulfillment from telling the stories of organizations trying to make a difference in the world.

More details about your skills

Above all, I am a storyteller.

My day job is in communications and marketing, mostly for global nonprofits and Stanford University. I am a photographer, videographer, podcaster, and writer, but my specialty is combining them all to find the best way to tell each part of a story. I also have extensive experience in social media management and e-newsletters, and some experience with basic website design. For samples of my work, please visit http://nicoleelysefeldman.com.

Before I started working in communications, I taught preschool and then dance and gymnastics for kids aged 4 months to 12 years. I have continued to babysit kids of all ages since.

I have volunteered at permaculture farms in Puerto Rico, and I am a certified scuba diver. In my free time, I take tourists on adventures off the beaten path. And if I do say so myself, I am an excellent cook, particularly of vegetarian meals.
