BEHIND THE SCENES

HOW I WORK

Clear plans.
Shared context.

Practical tools for project planning, team coordination and intern onboarding.

Alongside delivering projects and events, I set up shared tools for planning, communication and handover. The aim was to give colleagues and incoming interns clear responsibilities, useful context and access to previous work.

PLAN & HAND OVER

Notion

I built project and event trackers, a marketing content schedule and a shared notice board. Tasks have owners, dates and statuses; previous work and briefs give interns context when they join and receive assignments.

COMMUNICATE & SHARE

WeCom

I set up the school’s WeCom for internal communication and shared resources. The workspace brings together marketing materials, event files and other school documents for team access.

SUPPORT COLLABORATION

Google Workspace

I also set up Google Workspace for the academic team to support its collaboration needs.
