      • Nov 2009 - Present

      Freelance writer and editor, specialising in global development, working across print and online with a strong emphasis on social media and digital strategies.From 2009-2013, I was the editor of the Guardian International Development Journalism competition (see link below). This long-running competition involved me:* liaising with multiple outside bodies* dealing sensitively with hundreds of entrants* working with the Guardian events team to ensure the many competition trips and the awards ceremony go smoothly* planning and executing the social media side of the competition* acting as non-voting chair of judges* carrying out a significant amount of hands-on editing with often very inexperienced writers* leading a small team to get a final supplement in print and onlineSince January 2012, I have been working with Malaria Consortium to help them communicate their work on malaria to a range of different audiences. In particular, I have written learning papers in straightforward English on various aspects of malaria control in Nigeria. I have also edited similar papers in technical language to make them accessible to non-specialist readers.I also work as overall editor for large-scale projects appearing in the Guardian and sponsored by a range of NGOs. These projects are across a range of print and online media, and sometimes with podcasts, online photography galleries, video, and live events too. I also write for, and act as commissioning editor on, smaller projects.Other substantial projects since 2009 have included writing papers on Health Systems Strengthening for Malaria Consortium and a range of articles on HIV/AIDS in Kenya for the International HIV/AIDS Alliance.
