Summary
I edit and curate articles and videos for The Weather Channel’s online platform on a variety of weather-related topics including climate change. I also oversee the editorial side of IBM’s Forecast:Change initiative which highlights stories on developing solutions to the global water crisis. On the managerial side of things, I schedule our content calendar, liaise with clients and intermediaries, and organize production of sponsored videos.
As a freelance writer, I regularly write well-researched articles on a variety of topics in various publication styles. In the past year, I’ve had numerous pieces published across several well-known sites, many of which garnered hundreds of thousands of views.
When I’m not creating articles, I’m writing scripts and producing original videos for popular sites like SciShow and Mashable, and/or my own comedic purposes. I also edit photos and create gifs with aplomb. I’m an experienced self-starter who performs well under pressure, but still manages to have a sense of humor.
