My Projects at Green Planet Company

Website and Logo

I developed the website from scratch using GoDaddy's website creation tools, crafting the content based on previous press releases and insights from my boss. Additionally, I leveraged my Adobe Illustrator skills to enhance the Green Planet logo, transforming a low-resolution JPEG into a more polished and professional image.

Company Blog Posts

After establishing a solid base of content that reflected the company's vision on the site, I started writing blog posts. Initially, these posts were straightforward progress updates, but as time went on, I evolved them into more detailed and thoroughly researched essays.

Social Media Management

In addition to writing for the company website and crafting grant applications, I also took on the management of our company's social media feeds to expand our audience and advance our mission. My posts varied, from showcasing new blog articles and expressing gratitude to our partner organizations, to promoting engagement for donation events.

Once I had developed a comprehensive understanding of the company's vision through the website content, I transitioned into grant writing for Green Planet Company. Since starting, I have successfully secured over $20,000 in funding through multiple grants from organizations such as Guilford Savings Bank, the Community Foundation of Greater New Haven, and Liberty Bank.
