What does your job title mean? What does your job entail?
I manage the content on our HR team’s intranet. I ensure it’s on-brand, grammatically accurate and easily to access and follow for our employees.
When do you wake up?
6:30am – I get up, get ready pretty quick and walk to the train 2 blocks away.
At 9am I am…
Eating my avocado toast and drinking my Matcha latte.
At 11am I am…
In the heart of the morning’s work. Usually in meetings or on calls before lunch.
What does lunch normally look like for you?
I usually have a full but balanced lunch. I work from home a lot and will make a sandwich with lots of veggies and mustard to keep it light. When I go into the office I splurge on an amazing Mediterranean salad from a place down the street.
At 1pm I am…
Just finishing lunch and getting ready for more meetings. If it’s a rare day where I don’t have anything planned I’m getting more over deliverables done at my desk, usually with my headphones in so I can focus better.
At 3pm I am… 
Catching teammates with questions for them that came up during the day or finishing up any bigger projects. The day is usually winding down and I am closing out open items so nothing is left unanswered when I leave.
At 5pm I am…
Walking in the door to start dinner and take my pup for a walk!
How does a workday end for you? What time do you normally leave work?
I leave between 4 and 4:30, just depends on how the day has gone and if I have more work than usual.
What do you do after work? An event? Dinner? More work?
During the week, I usually come home to make dinner for my fiancé and myself. Then, we’ll catch up on shows, take the dog for a walk or even play video games. We like to veg during the week! Weekends we usually have dinners and events planned.
What time do you go to bed? 
10pm. I’ve always been a night owl but have learned to get to bed around 10pm to give me a proper amount of beauty rest!
Is there anything about your job you’d like people to know?
Anyone in charge of widely-shared content has to be able to think about how every different employee could read it. My company boasts a very friendly, conversational tone of voice which makes it easy for everyone to read and understand, which in turn keeps productivity up. There’s so much going on in the world today and technology has never been more sophisticated, so keep it simple where you can!
