Resume
Hi, I’m Kate Jenkins, a creative storyteller with a passion for using visual and written media to inspire, connect, and leave a lasting impact. My professional journey blends photography, social media management, and design with a deep appreciation for the stories that drive human connection. Whether I’m curating social media campaigns, photographing an event, or designing marketing materials, I strive to bring a creative touch and compelling narrative to everything I do.
I worked as the photographer and social media coordinator for the BYU Store for 3 years, where I managed photoshoots from concept to completion, developed engaging content for online platforms, and collaborated with design teams to create cohesive brand strategies. In addition to my professional roles, I have extensive experience as a freelance photographer, working on projects ranging from family portraits to large-scale events and exhibitions.
Beyond photography, my skills include social media analytics, marketing, bilingual communication (English/Spanish), and expertise in Adobe Creative Suite. I’m always looking to combine my technical abilities with creativity to solve problems and create meaningful work.
With a commitment to lifelong learning, I’m excited to grow and explore new challenges where I can contribute my talents and passion for storytelling.
