Google

As a content strategist at Google Kids & Families, I helped to ensure we promoted the right kid-focused material to the right audience at the right time. You can take a look at some of my work on Google Play and Google Kids Space.

Showing off one’s work as a content strategist can be tricky. It’s less obvious than writing and editing, but the work is — in my opinion — just as important and just as rewarding.

There are countless apps on Google Play. Part of my job was to find the best, figure out what makes them great, and then help spread the word.

Speaking of spreading the word, another enjoyable part of my time at Google: working with app developers. For about a year, I served as one of Google’s representatives during the development of two high-profile apps (Marvel Groove with Groot and Barbie Color Creations) for Android smartwatches.

I helped the developer brainstorm ideas, offered feedback on UI, and provided perspective on how to make the apps as awesome as possible. Check ’em out and let me know what you think!

But that’s not all! While at Google, I also edited an internal newsletter dedicated to kid-focused news and content. “The Scoop” (as it was known) was sent widely throughout Google and read by top executives. Oh, and I helped out with The Keyword, Google’s official blog.
