Full-time and consulting

I helped the 2020 Group of Twenty (G20) presidency establish clarity, accuracy and consistency in all editorial content. Besides hands-on editing and conferring 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 consistently and effectively to a variety of audiences.
