My work included researching and writing athlete and coach biographies, writing sport descriptions, compiling results, coordinating translation and website content, designing the look and feel of the guides, and liaising with the printing company. I was also responsible for completing the desktop publishing of the 2004 Canadian Olympic team media guide under intense time pressures.

Chosen as the editor of the Canadian Olympic Team’s newsletter for the 2006, 2004 and 2002 Olympic Games for my ability to create well written content in an attractive and easily-read format while working in a high-pressure environment. The newsletter was produced primarily as a website, but was also distributed in a print version to the Canadian team.
