Shiori Zinnen

My name is Shiori and I am an ever-evolving pot of something containing ingredients such as curiosity, creativity, empathy, attention to detail, intellectual humility, and overthinking. I currently work as a digital content manager for a marketing agency called Lanio, where I help clients manage their online presence and use content marketing to build community. I am also a proud AmeriCorps alum of two terms who held positions as Literacy Lead and then Program Coordinator at Reading Partners, an organization that empowers K-4 students and their communities by providing effective supplementary literacy education. 

I was born and raised in Saitama, Japan in a bilingual and bicultural family, and earned my B.A. in Linguistics with minors in ESL and Music at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I currently reside in the DC metro area. My life dream is to combine my fascination with stories, science, language, music, and people to contribute to a better tomorrow.
