New Media Officer / Online Manager / WWF Australia
Re-developed the WWF Australia website into a more flexible online platform. I was responsible for the design and development of its web standards compliant (XHTML/CSS/PHP/MySQL)
website. The website also featured a number of
Flash interactive pieces that I designed and developed that were aimed at educating visitors about complex environment subjects like turtle conservation and marine debris.
I then became Online Manger which was a more strategic digital role aimed at building digital capacity in other parts of WWF such as supporter relations, campaigns and marketing.
