About Imani

How did I become a communications strategist and digital content producer?

 

Here's my career journey...

​

I began on the journalism track, writing for Goddess Girl Magazine and interviewing artists like Jeremih in high school. After honing my craft through the Princeton University Summer Journalism Program and serving as opinion editor for my college newspaper, I decided that a career in communications was the right path for me.

​

After graduating with a B.A. in Communication from Lake Forest College, I led communications at a Chicago performing arts nonprofit. This experience made me want to pursue even more education, so I earned my M.S. in Marketing from The University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). From there, I carved a path in organic communications and content development, with roles at UIC College of Pharmacy, ISACA, and now Argonne National Laboratory.

​

Beyond full-time work, I’ve delivered content strategy, copywriting, vertical video production and design for a range of clients across industries like tech, health, personal care, and the arts. And in my free time? I'm a songwriter!
