Design/UX: I have a longtime interest in graphic design which I learn and practice mostly as a hobby with the help of online courses and websites. Comfortable with Photoshop (use it to make graphics at work), getting there with InDesign.
Developer:
- Familiar with HTML and CSS though I have not kept up to the level of HTML5 and CSS3
- Learning R, the programming language I’m currently focused on and looking to progress in; used it to work with Twitter and Spotify data and do simple text analysis
Research: Fact-checking news stories is one of my tasks at work so I can contribute through some of the skills I’ve picked up.
Project manager: I enjoy organizing and planning using spreadsheets and tools like Trello but in terms of managing projects for a group, I don’t have much experience there.
Outreach: I can help find relevant contacts, design graphics for social media, and help draft letters and emails but other than that, not my area of expertise.
Other skills and experience:
- Editing texts, writing news round-ups, news curation, making visualizations using R and Tableau
- Helped develop an informal curriculum for ESL students
- Online tools: Mailchimp, Readymag, Splash, WordPress, Carto
