This is a collection of all self-authored articles published on established company blogs or websites while I was employed full-time with the respective organizations. In my role as the content lead, I was responsible for content planning, authoring the article briefs and the articles, managing the editorial calendar, copyediting, proofreading, finding supporting imagery for the articles, creating media assets (such as infographics), front-end publishing through content management systems like WordPress and Webflow, and analyzing key metrics. At times, I’ve also worked with freelancers and contractors to produce articles. Here’s some of my work.
