As an editorial writer at Encyclopaedia Britannica, I wrote over 50 articles on science, entertainment, technology, and news. I also learned and practiced the publication's world-renowned fact-checking and research methods.

For example, I listed 12 Novels Considered the 'Greatest Book Ever Written,' and 6 of the First Women Heads of State.

I also used website analytics and SEO techniques. After reviewing data on the questions Britannica users searched most often, I wrote articles in a vertical called "Demystified" that answered those questions directly.

To this day, my articles remain among the site's most popular features. They've even been cited in publications around the world—including the Wikipedia entry for The Great Gatsby.
