I assisted Jenni Metcalfe to run a workshop to guide participants to reach a consensus on water and fish research evidence and then to design and agree on key messages for a range of communication products.

These strategies resulted in three main products: developing the years-long Climate Champion program, the Climate Kelpie web portal, CliMag magazine, among supporting media coverage and fact sheets. The Climate Champion work with Australian farmers garnered a finalist spot at the 2015 Eureka Awards – a project that I managed at Econnect.

I was part of the team to survey, research, develop and plan the communication strategy. We then implemented plans for a new web portal, news website, internal newsletter, fact sheets, media outreach and more.

I was part of a team to survey needs for, plan, structure, create, research, write, edit, upload and code for the website. The website filled a gap for people looking to produce energy on a farm. We also interviewed, filmed and visited sites for case studies, then wrote those and produced these case studies, videos and photos.

I edited policy documents and case studies for the Reef 2050 plan – a critical set of documents for the key management agency for the reef. This work required careful adherence and sensitivity to policy and content guidelines, and style, of the agency.

I interviewed a historical figure for one of the films shown in the visitor centre in Karumba (north Queensland). We used the video, audio and interview to script the story to help tell the story of barramundi in north Queensland. I also researched and chose photos to use in the centre.

I wrote compelling stories about the outcomes of the research investments of Managing Climate Variability. This included writing, editing, interviewing, sourcing pictures and resources.

I created stories from seasonally relevant ideas for the quarterly grain-growing magazine which focused on growers using research outcomes to farm more efficiently. This included writing, editing, interviewing, sourcing pictures and resources.
