Here are a few samples of my website editorial, production and development work at the UN. Some are websites I developed, others feature web content I wrote and produced:
acnudh.org
I conceived, worked alongside designers, populated and maintained the website for the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights’ Regional Office for South America (ACNUDH.org, according to its Spanish acronym). I achieved this with no budget and in just six month’s time.
Beijing+20 campaign website
I worked collaboratively with colleagues on our team to come up with the concept, structure and initial content of UN Women’s Beijing+20 campaign microsite, launched in 2014.

In Focus: International Women’s Day
Each year, ahead of International Women’s Day (IWD) on the 8th of March, I would prepare an In Focus page compiling relevant material on that year’s theme and showcasing UN Women’s outreach activities as they take place.

This “In Focus” package contains targeted content, including infographics, speeches, videos, publications, photos and human impact…
In the words of… (series)
In early 2013, I spearheaded the “In the words of…” editorial series, which features first-person accounts by UN Women partners or beneficiaries detailing specific gender-based problems, what’s being done to address them, and how change is underway.
