Recent achievements have included:
Syle guide, technical documentation and website: When hired to copyedit technical documentation for a land monitoring tool, I created a style guide to keep writing useful, clear, concise, consistent and fluid across the website. I also transformed the landing page to improve user experience and increase audience engagement. I went on to apply the style and copyedit the documentation. I will train the team on the style guide in early-2024. I have copyedited and proofread many types of similar publications, such as project websites and platform landing pages.
Comparative study, concept note and event invitation: After copyediting a comparative study on carbon rights, I copyedited a concept note and event invitation for the publication launch. This included applying FAOSTYLE (2023), as well as finding ways to better communicate key points to target audiences and increase engagement. I have copyedited and proofread many other types of similar publications, such as: web content (e.g. articles, news updates, blog posts, landing pages); presentations; flyers, leaflets, posters and informative notes; and learning materials for an FAO elearning Academy MOOC (e.g. handouts, presentations).
