HTI communications

Scholarship in public

From 2020 to 2026, I worked with the Hispanic Theological Initiative as a communications consultant. The work connected theological scholarship with the people and communities it could serve.

My responsibility

I coordinated content with the separate Open Plaza and Journeys teams, working across editorial planning, contributors, website and newsletter content, graphics, and promotion. I also interviewed seminary presidents and deans for HTI’s 25th-anniversary video series, Many Voices, One Story, and produced and edited video projects.

I also built the Journeys newsletter editor: a web app for HTI staff to assemble each issue from stories, scholar milestones, and photos in HTI’s own templates, then export it for the website and email. I built it so HTI staff could publish each issue themselves, and handed it off in June 2026. See the June 2026 issue of Journeys.

From an idea to a finished piece

A newsletter is the visible result of many people’s work. My role included helping contributors, editors, and creative collaborators move from an idea to a coherent piece that was ready for its audience.

• Coordinated contributors and editorial material across distinct publication teams.
• Prepared and organized content for websites, newsletters, graphics, and promotion.
• Interviewed seminary presidents and deans for HTI’s 25th-anniversary video series, and produced and edited video projects.
• Built the Journeys newsletter editor, a web app for assembling and exporting each issue.

This consulting engagement was part of my independent practice, alongside other communications and project work.

The questions behind the workflow

The message and the process belong together: what does a community need to hear, who needs to review it, and how does the work reach its readers? Those questions also inform my approach to communications at Luminosa.
