Full-time and consulting
Over an 11-month on-site contract, I helped the 2020 G20 presidency establish clarity, accuracy and consistency in all its editorial content. Besides hands-on editing and liaising with writers, I established a style guide and trained other editors on it to support professional communication. The overall goal was to enhance the message of the G20 and ensure it was presented effectively to a variety of audiences.
I was also the managing editor at a national trade magazine and helped relaunch the publication, liaising with editorial and production staff to ensure the magazine met its deadlines and presented helpful and engaging information to our readers.
