I worked on bringing Bulgaria's biggest textbook publisher closer to their target audience: high school students. The client expected fast results - their Instagram was to be modernized over the course of the summer. I authored and executed two creative projects, bringing over 2,500 new followers to Prosveta's Instagram account in this short time.

As a section editor at the newspaper, I was in charge of producing 2+ pages weekly. My role consisted not only of pitching, editing and/ or writing articles but also of guiding new editors and contributors to meet the papers' standards. As the McGill Daily comprises a non-hierarchical team, versatility and familiarity with all sections and aspects of production was crucial.
