Media Relations Specialist
Tulsa Police (2023-Present)

In March 2023, I began working as a Website Developer at the City of Tulsa for the Tulsa Police Department. Though the title sounds very niche, I was trusted to wear a variety of different hats in the department's Communications Unit.

In February 2026, I was promoted to Media Relations Specialist, further engraining myself in the department's media strategy.

First, my primary function in the unit daily is to serve as a liaison for local media when they are seeking public information related to police activity. To best serve our media partners, I created an online portal to streamline media requests for information and reduce media calls to 911 Dispatch or other department personnel.

I am also responsible for writing social media content, creating graphics for both internal and external communication, writing press releases and newsletters, and filling Open Records Act requests for body-worn camera video.

During my first few months in the unit, I rebuilt the department's external website. This included sweeping organizational changes, the building of new web pages and features, and significant graphic design upgrades. In addition, I redesigned the department's external recruiting website to have improved user functionality and match organizational branding.

I also assumed control of the department's internal website, utilizing SharePoint, Power Automate, and additional Microsoft 365 tools to streamline internal communications and file sharing functions.
