Hey! I’m Elaina.
I am a multi-facited professional with a diverse skill set in photography, paid and organic social media management, public affairs, and event promotion and marketing. With a passion for capturing moments, engaging audiences, and promoting cultural heritage, I have found my calling as a creative force at the Library of Congress.
My previous social media work has been in collaboration with Kamala Harris’ for the People Campaign, MacArthur Foundation, St. Jude’s Marlo Thomas, Buckle Up For Life, Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts, Association of American Railroads, Soccer for Success, WUSA9 (CBS), ABC7 Channel 8 News (WJLA), and more.
Through strategic content creation and curation, I effectively communicate the Library’s mission, collections, and events to a wide range of followers. My expertise in leveraging social media trends and ongoing events helps to grow the Library’s online presence and foster meaningful interactions with the public.
My background as a public affairs specialist further enhances my ability to promote the Library of Congress and its initiatives. With a deep understanding of public relations strategies, I develop and implement comprehensive campaigns that raise awareness and generate interest in the Library’s programs, exhibitions, and educational resources. My strong communication skills enable me to effectively collaborate with various division across my agency, media outlets, and community partners to amplify the institution’s impact and reach.
Pursuing a career in the federal government is not just a professional ambition for me, but a true calling driven by a genuine desire to serve and make a difference for the American people. I am committed to dedicating my skills, knowledge and passion to the betterment of our nation, in hopes of living a life to make our country the best it can be.
My experiences as a military child have instilled in me a deep sense of duty, resilience, and adaptability. I have learned to embrace change, overcome challenges, and work effectively in diverse and dynamic environments. These qualities, combined with my education and skills, make me confident in my ability to excel in federal government roles and contribute meaningfully to the mission and vision of my agency.
My passion for serving others, coupled with my diverse skill set in writing, photography, graphic design, and social media, has led me to believe that government service can be an avenue through which I can truly make a difference in this world.
