During my time as a Communication Trainee at the OECD Statistics Directorate in Paris (June 2015 – Dec 2015), I played a key role in modernizing the organization’s digital presence and expanding its social media reach. I assisted with migrating Wikiprogress from Wikipedia to WordPress, which involved copyediting articles, updating links and categories, and obtaining permissions from contributing organizations to add their data to the new platform. I led communication efforts and social media outreach for both Wikiprogress and the Data Viz Competition.
In addition, I helped create and implement a comprehensive social media plan for the OECD 5th World Forum in Guadalajara, Mexico. My work included coining the hashtag #OECD5WF, which trended at the country level in Mexico, and live-tweeting from @OECD_Stat and @wikiprogress throughout the forum.
