Digital leadership has come naturally to me, but journalism will always be my passion.

I’m hungry for creative projects that require finding a whole new box to think outside of while tapping into new technologies. I thrive in organizations that embrace change as a way of life — or at least acknowledge they should. I’ve even brought about the creation of my own job — more than once.

I have experience in project management, art direction, staff management and development, media relations, copy editing, art direction, and have taught myself applications and coding in order to keep my organizations moving forward. I’ve written strategies and campaigns, re-imagined workflows, built intranets, managed apps and advertising, led rebranding efforts, designed websites and publications.

I’ve been on Facebook and Twitter almost since they existed, jumping at the opportunity to create branded accounts for my newsrooms when upper management didn’t see the point; and eventually was executing strategic campaigns for more than 45 branded social media accounts and mobile apps representing nine newsrooms located across the greater Los Angeles area.

I have experience bringing about digital transformation. Weeks after my transition off the print design desk, I was leading my newsroom in developing digital-first breaking news workflows. I have led rebranding efforts and implementation of a new website while helping coworkers learn or best utilize new or emerging communications technology.

Still not convinced I should be working for you? Reach out, and I’ll gladly send you a reference list of people who have been/will be sorry to see me go.

Regards,

Gina Dvorak.

Your future co-worker.
