While at NTEN, in celebration of its unique digital fellowship with Google Fiber, I managed the creation of this digital toolkit which highlighted lessons and tips for communities interested in equity. Specifically, I led the editorial design and direction, managed the workflow of the program lead and the content manager, edited content, and worked with a designer on its final creation.

I envisioned, launched, and managed Idealist Careers, a digital publication for social-impact professionals reaching over 240,000 people each month. I set the editorial direction, email strategy, and managed writers, designers, and more from 2012-2015.

After co-leading the strategic planning process for a nonprofit focused on racial equity, I distilled the new direction and mission into a compelling, engaging storytelling document. (This is not a slideshare project rather the document is hosted on slideshare.)

Working across the organization and with a design firm, I wrote the 2018 annual report for Code2040. As a startup constantly influx, capturing successes of the previous year while acknowledging ongoing change, was a challenge. I addressed this challenge by celebrating the past and painting a bold picture of the future in an interactive story and design.

As the editor of Idealist Careers, I prioritized stories from diverse communities on their professional journeys. In this story, Lisa shares her transition in the work place and the challenges she faced along the way. I edited the story, design, and direction of this piece.

As editor of Idealist Careers, I felt it was important to see various sides of social impact work. By interviewing thought leaders like Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, I elevated interesting perspectives of this sector. In this case, the role of introverts in social change leadership.
