Educational Material and Explainers
Starting in late 2018, the Peterson Institute created a number of educational resources to help instruct non-specialist audiences on fairly broad economic topics. The most important of these are two long form mini-sites on globalization and income inequality. Our educational resources are part of a larger grant funded initiative to expand our outreach to a more general audience, especially non-economists and non-specialist policy makers. These projects have been very successful, with our "What is Globalization" mini-site becoming the number 1 Google search result for globalization.

Webcam Best Practices Packet
The Mission:
Build an information packet on best practices for webcam video presentations and interviews. The transition to remote work at the onset of the Covid 19 pandemic created many challenges. Virtual interviews and media appearances became to norm, but many news contributors had little to no knowledge on optimizing their camera, lighting, or background for remote video sessions. I was tasked with creating an information packet for PIIE's senior staff to help them improve their appearance during remote interviews and virtual events.
