Work history
Media OfficerFriends Of The Earth
London, United KingdomFull Time
By sourcing a variety of exciting stories from across the organisation, and working with journalists at a wide range of media outlets I engage new audiences, increase brand awareness, apply pressure on companies and policy makers, and inspire people to do their bit for the planet. It is crucial that these stories sit well across digital and social media content, in order to ensure maximum impact.
Responding to short lead news opportunities. Drafting quotes and reactions on behalf of the organisation to ensure that Friends of the Earth can quickly and effectively land media coverage in reaction to breaking environmental news stories.
My focus issues include increasing tree cover, fighting plastic pollution, and boosting urban nature.
Project Intern
Project intern, as part of the Leonardo Da Vinci programme. I researched, planned and put together an interactive video exhibit on the etymology of Flamenco, working under pressure to a tight deadline prior to Christmas. This exhibit went on display on the 18th December 2014, with further languages due to be added. My work is presented in the museum’s exhibition area so requires a great amount of attention to detail and demonstrates my proficiency in written communication. Since my return to England in late December I have been working with the Spanish team there to translate my work into Spanish, German and Italian.
I further assisted the museum with a number of projects with a specific focus on English speaking visitors. This included improving the translation and history found in their English guide book along with the captions found throughout the museum. My role here extended to taking groups of tourists and students on tours around the museum. This enabled me to develop my practical skills in Spanish speaking.
