About Imani

My career in communications began with a curiosity for people and the stories they carry. As a high school student, I was already interviewing artists like Jeremih for Goddess Girl Magazine, learning early on how thoughtful questions and genuine interest can create connection. 

​

That curiosity deepened through the Princeton University Summer Journalism Program and later as opinion editor for my college newspaper, where I sharpened my voice and learned how to translate complex ideas into compelling narratives. While journalism shaped my foundation, I realized I wanted to apply storytelling in a more strategic way, which led me to communications.

​

After earning my B.A. in Communication from Lake Forest College, I led communications for a Chicago performing arts nonprofit, an experience that cemented my interest in brand storytelling and audience engagement. I then went on to earn my M.S. in Marketing from the University of Illinois Chicago.​ 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!
