Samantha Lien
Communications Manager, Wikimedia Foundation
About me
I have a broad and varied background in Communications with experience in the private sector, government, and non profit. I enjoy the opportunity to take on many different roles and responsibilities within the realm of communication. Previously I've worked on editorial content, storytelling, strategic communications, press correspondence, and many other different communications opportunities.
I've always had a love for learning and knowledge, and I'm privileged to work with a community of individuals that share that passion. I'm eager to apply my previous work experiences to my role as the Communications Intern now at the Wikimedia Foundation to help the community and further the Wikimedia Mission.
My work
As a Communications Manager, I get to take on a wide variety of responsibilities on the Communications team. I sort and respond to press inquiries, organize and plan interviews, assist with editorial content on our blog, plan and implement strategic communications opportunities, and more.
