Sandhya Kumar
Hi, I'm Sandhya, a storyteller, strategic communicator, and graduate student in Public Relations at Boston University. I am passionate about helping brands communicate with clarity, empathy, and purpose, and I believe the most powerful narratives are the ones that make complex ideas accessible and meaningful.
I have supported communications work for global tech and consumer brands, including DigiKey, Ben & Jerry’s, and public affairs and financial services clients. Across roles, I have contributed to internal messaging, executive communications, campaign strategy, and editorial planning. Whether I am shaping internal content, developing campaign narratives, or building content systems, I enjoy creating communication that feels thoughtful, human, and grounded in audience insight.
Originally from Chennai, India and now based in the United States, I bring a global academic and professional background to my work. As a U.S. citizen with experience learning and working across two cultures, I value diverse perspectives and collaborative storytelling. Alongside my communications work, I am exploring UX and content strategy, particularly how research, clarity, and design thinking can support more intuitive and engaging user experiences. I thrive at the intersection of brand voice, audience understanding, and creative problem-solving, and I am currently pursuing opportunities in strategic communications, internal communications, and content and UX strategy, where storytelling and insight come together to drive engagement and impact.
